up and over
the scene
lying
on the ground
the low wall
up and over
what they say
I should be

I can jump
many times over
that life
but I could never
touch my sky

and so I went
lower
than any wall
to go higher
though I'm
not there yet
and I may
never be
but it is
the place
of my dreams

some call me
a lazy sparrow
for I've been
hanging around
this wall
a long time
growing
little wings
with these
little words
yet big ideas
though I
cannot fly
my wings
are my
inspiration

I do not
look down
at the crowd
at the top
of the wall

some ignore
me
for they never
forget
how
I never
get to the
top

I respect
the few
who have tried
to find the wall
as high
as heaven

and I
respect those
who lie
at the small
wall

as wide as the world
as small as the world

it is the place
of safety

it is the wall
of my father

it is the wall
that has allowed
me

to dig under
to get over
