So I'm not using the prompt phrase directly this time, but indirectly in two ways: we have returned to Kittering's Vigil which overlooks the whole town, and we have a lot of people at the top looking over a rather awkward (for them) situation. I hope you'll agree that I've made enough use of the prompt :)

The view from the top
Part IV

If Commerce is the Engine of Government
Then the mechanics are all gathered here tonight
Atop Kittering’s Vigil to discuss how Emma B
Has their plans shoved indelicately down her pants.

Greg - I was somewhat expecting your first interpretation, with an outside chance you'd use it as Spud's point of view. So... all good :)

I may or may not have laughed out loud at that final line. Also appreciate the call back to the mechanics of government from earlier.
