Read the following poem and answer the question that follows.

"i like to see it lap the miles" by emily wingspaninson

around a pile of mountains,
and, supercilious, peer
in shanties by the sides of roads;
and then a quarry pare

to fit its sides, and crawl between,

and neigh like boanerges;
then, punctual as a star,
stop—docile and omnipotent—
at its own stable door.
