THE GREAT PYRAMID
THE GREAT PYRAMID
We grease the palm of Abdullah
and clamber to the top
of the Great Pyramid
that lost its head
which reappeared
and still shines like a beacon
eye on U.S. dollar bills.
Later, we flag a cab
whose driver looks like the Sphinx,
and under the keen eye of Hubble
bubble our wheels
toward Mina House, that swell hotel,
that oasis out of this world
though grounded in the dunes of time.
