Little George Faraday

...

Little george faraday
six feet tall at birth
and grew
no jump basketball dunk
and grew
touched a skyscraper’s roof
and grew
grabbed an airplane midflight
and grew
mommy knitted a space sweater
and grew
dodged a sneaky moon
and grew
shook hands with planets
and grew
until he hugged the sun
and said,
“ouch.”

...

Written for Friday Poetically With Brian Miller and G-Man's Friday Flash 55.
