Periscope

Aaron and I were waiting for the Volkswagen engine
To the sounds of the sprinklers on the locust summer lawn
The space between the moments was longer than a season
And a century had past in the early afternoon

Looking at the world through a periscope
It was a gift from my father.
Looking at the world through a periscope
Made be feel a little taller.

I remember I would imitate my father's walk
The sound of his leather boots upon the pavement
The force of his forward leaning rounded shoulders
A leather wearing guitar bearing motorcycle man.

Looking at the world through a periscope
It was a gift from my father.
Looking at the world through a periscope
Made be feel a little taller.

The toy box is shut, latched and pushed away
The sweat of my brow has only brought me from his sight
Though his hopes have carried me through many rites of passage
I still need a periscope to look him in the eye.

Looking at the world through a periscope
It was a gift from my father.
Looking at the world through a periscope
Made me feel a little taller.
