Climber

Tiger’s eye.
Don’t know why.
Look for answers,
Signs of Cancer.

Found some growing.
Your slip is showing.

Bang a drum.
See who runs
To your tantrum.
A floating phantom

Hovers near.
Let’s be clear.

Attention antics
Prickly tactics,
Tiny, tactile
Pointy, fractal,

Brought you here.
Aloft with purpose.

What makes me nervous
Is when to leave.
Yellow maples
Know their timing,

Falling shadows
Pantomiming.

Bending branches,
Broken rhyming:
Escalators of
Social climbing
