The Upper Class View

Even in the urban landscape, windows of far-off vistas peek into this everyday human world. What can make the picture speak in a language of artistic sensibility? The city has mirrored the patterns of growth through human hands, recreating Nature's plan. Trees are trimmed,pots are planted, and architecture built along the bay. Through the empty spaces, the wide stretch of inlet and cloud banks lie. These people here, I think, are blessed with a view that others cannot share, except in passing through. They feel the ownership that others only dream of--they are the upper class whose long work days pay for this claim. Manicured lawns and alder mix, of city and Nature combined. I catch the view of a sunny afternoon, then return to my neighborhood filled with houses and only the sky above.
