Desert Igloo
These giant glass panelings
impressively thick and tinted
protecting and protective
of this impeccably efficient
industrial fortress for ages
my desert igloo for wages
I peer beyond the dusty swirls outside
losing count of my lost decades inside
Shielded from the noontime glare
I survey Saudi sands a-seething
for mirages mesmerizing
and, at sundown, for shadows
of oases palms hurriedly ascending
to the skies slowly descending
Time no longer stretches my patience thin
Friend, seems to me I've just checked in!
