and i sometimes wonder
what it would be like
to live on a different scale,

to have my size
match my intents
i feel something would need to change.
either my world must grow,
or i must shrink

so that possibility
can seem as possible
as i dream it to be.
but still improbable,
so i know if i succeed
the work was probably worth it
to overcome implausibility...

or maybe i must grow,
and the world converge a bit,
so that my wide-ranging plans
can more easily come into focus.
because while i live wide-eyed,
i find it doesn't change my frame of view,
more my frame of mind
"Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."

    wouldn't that be something.

    the sun stands I will fight

    I love that. That's brilliant. That describes the scope of my thought pattern at the end of most days.
    I'm glad to see I'm not alone.
