We looked deeply into each other’s eyes,
Your head held high and proud,
Mine slightly lowered and held fast as we
Passed in the grass.
I spoke briefly, noticing how you had grown
Through the summer,
And thankfully you didn’t hiss a reply
But smoothly glided on,
The perfect glissade to my Texas two-step
In the opposite direction.

When I think in large terms, like…
Spacious, massive,
grand or big,
I can just picture
a wealthy yet comfortable space.
But if I think in smaller terms, oh say…
Minuscule, modest,
scanty or small,
I just want to
shrivel up and hide.
Is it any wonder, then
That skyscrapers are built
while shanties are torn down,
Or why people listen better
to men who are tall.
It doesn’t quite explain, though,
why I fear the little spider.
But I suppose it just could be
his impetus is larger!
