only a glassman (fearing a fall)

only a glassman, he stood upright atop the tallest building 23 floors tall
and each storey had a story -
of people walking and people talking and people being people and only people like
only a see through glassman, who let their vision pass through, but he feared a fall
they could see through and see whatever that was, on the other side
only a glassman, cut glass self, gathering and converging their vision
and focussed at one point behind and beyond
only a glassman (fearing a fall) he stood tall till
there was a lightning that cracked open the skies in two
one half ahead and one half behind the dividing line, a line on his forehead
that made the world opaque
