Sleep Giants
As a kid I had thoughts
about sleeping giants
and thick green leafy stalks
I wondered a lot too
as a teenager kid
thought maybe, perhaps I
could climb atop one too
wake them up, to talk things
ask them knowledge and such
how they felt about me
becoming a giant too
as a grown up big kid
I gave up and walked
off to safer places
and that was that, of course
I was too old to dream
as a very old kid
my walking cane agreed
until the clouds parted
and out came two pillars
of heavy nimbleness
up I went to a court
of rumbling giants
they were the sleeping greats
so I thought at least then
the truth, they soon told me
was that I slept on them
