In my travels I ride a lot of elevators and observe. It is an interesting dynamic.

Sharing Elevators
today NFL combine
tailored testosterone fumbling
bling-bling raw gems
try to catch a coach’s eye
yesterday Mary Kay
and her conventioneers
high on Midnight Madness
giggled door to floor
tomorrow one lone woman
well dressed hesitates
to join one lone man
going down or
up and down seemingly
not seeing or seen
all await the sudden jolt
then laugh again at liberty
Husband. Father. Grandfather. Pilot. Pastor. Poet.

What calls you to travel this much and be on elevators?

My 4th bio item… pilot. I fly for FedEx which takes me all over the country and into elevators all over the country (and Canada and Mexico).
