Overlook. How does a poem personifiy the word overlook?

The usual way, by definition:
inspect
look down upon
rise above
miss
oversee.

Contradictions abound.

If a poem were food (which it is), we would say -- As the cook's hands overlook the meal.

  1. none on the cliff hanger by the sea
    a light or two in the distance
    as it all folded up in my hand

    let the paper drop on the waves
    and walk on little rugger
    no sense waiting for the seventh bell
