The Real-World
I'm a cloud watcher –
addicted as are many
others, of lofty minds,
with heads inclined
toward the altitudes; admitting
to be earthbound only
when pressed – my
father often reminding
me, that one cannot
eat nebula: the real-world,
where we earn; the real-world
from which we learn – the
real-world, both fluffy and
stern, concrete and seeming,
yet all clouds opening
for redeeming –
