PINNACLE

PINNACLE

just after
mind melds
involving
the big five
in Kruger

I climbed Annapura,
Lhotse and, what’s its
name?
Oh, yes,
K2

backpack full of
bottles of
oxygen
for the death zone

plus
packs of wors and
jumbo cans of beer

for what use is
summiting if
you can’t
have a party?

hacksaw blade stuck
under my arm conveniently

that up on the pinnacle I
could Table Mountify
everything

make it
nice a flat for
cable cars and those
who
ascend for a view
