I sometimes feel suffocated. There isn't enough fresh air in the world To help me breath deeply. One inhale and it would all be used up. I could drink all the oceans and Melt the glaciers And my head would continue to throb From dehydration. I look around and I am a giant. The earth isn't vast enough. When I stand, my head hits the ceiling. I want something grander. I want to hold one long, loud note Until the vibrations cause earthquakes. Break through the earth-ceiling And find myself in outer space. I won't feel claustrophobic there.

Small Giant
