The Clearest View

I was Googling

A quote I half-

Remember, some-

Thing like “The clearest

View is from the bottom.”

Forgot who said it, but I

Know it’s true. Anyway,

My Google search led

Somewhere else: a quote

By Matt Haig: “The bottom

Of the valley never provides

The clearest view.” Well, tell

That to the gazelle being

Eaten alive by the lion,

Which never occurs in

The atmosphere, and tell

That to the guy at the

Bottom of any corporation,

Or corporations, since a

Bottom guy needs more

Than one job these days.

Anyway, I’m sure Matt

Sells a lot of books, with

Thoughts like that, since

Truth is a gazelle, and

The Lie is a Lion

Who always eats well

At the bottom

of any valley.
