Visiting my childhood home standing on a patch of grass I called my back yard. Looked up into a tiny sky with an even smaller moon and little stars. Thinking there was a time that sky appeared as the vast never ending universe, The great proliferator of this boy's imagination. My perception of the moon and stars all those years...

I “talk” to people on the web From countries far away, A few I’ve been to, others that I’d hoped to see one day. By telephone or FaceTime I connect with those I know, Some frequently enough I’m up On all their ebb and flow.

If you were only one inch tall You wouldn't be able to see over the dashboard, Life would be a blur of fast moving colours, My cat would be a monster And you would probably sleep in a shoe. If you were only one inch tall....
