Adam’s Song

Now that I am tall, too tall, 
and nearer to god and death 

we have come to the freak-show 
again. Where will I fit in at
 
seven feet eight inches tall, 
three breaths left and no time 

for the rhetorical? In my eye 
there is a skyscraper, a sparrow, 

and a new cloud, my own crown 
barely covered by the firmament.


for Adam Rainer, the only recorded adult little person and adult giant in history.
