Was It That The Earth Was Large

Was it that the earth was large

And my feet were small

That I could not reach the place

Of topicality?

Or was it that I could not sense

The direction of the call

And couldn’t bridge so tropical a fence?

Or was it that I was too large

And the universe in me

Too limited

By its mortal laws and physics

To be

Set free?
