he stood and people stand,
he walked and people walk,
he flew and people fly,
and on the inside wrappers
of candy bars
and on the paper napkins
from fast food restaurants
and from the scraps of 
brown bags and
old newspapers 
the notes 
came pouring in
notes from songs 
that people longed
to have sung
from all who 
followed him 
climbing 
rung to rung.
The notes drifted 
down
like falling leaves
a shower 
from the future
of future needs
and those who followed
continued to build the dream
from blueprints written
on leaves that came tumbling down.
