ODE TO THE ADVANCED AMATEUR ASTRONOMER
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
When I was young
and climbing mountains
carrying a rucksack
for earthly objects
on my back,
I understood:
that rucksack was
a part of my person.
.
Now when I see
an advanced amateur astronomer
climbing mountains
and carrying a telescope
for heavenly objects
on his back,
I understand:
that telescope is
a part of his person.
