I walked East
with the winter sun
relaxing
onto the horizon
behind me
my shadow in front
50 feet long
and I idly wished
my shadow was 6 feet
and my real body
stretched 50
surely
I could rule the world
but then I thought
at this time of day
the sun low
all the other shadows
would gang together
and call mine
a shortass
I couldn't allow this
to happen
I kept walking
stopped
wishing
