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.
