They tell me

it’s only the clouds

passing overhead and at my naïveté laugh

but everywhere I go

I see buildings growing

taller and taller

to me

to me

just three feet in height

looking up these mountain

tall buildings

forty feet or more

to me

they seem to move

threatening to fall

crush little me

me

causing them no harm

me

who can’t see

the whole of the sky anymore.
