Ceiling

Alaina Kimble

High School Sophomore

August/September 2023


Wouldn't it be fun to walk on the ceiling?

Having a sort of weightless feeling.

Upside down, striding, lighter than air,

With gravity making a mess of your hair.


Wouldn't it be neat to walk on the walls?

Ignoring the reason for gravity's laws.

Denying all construct of reality's rules,

Running around sideways like bumbling fools


Wouldn't it be cool to swing from the lights?

Leaping and flying like squirrels in the night .

Shouting in air vents, the loudest shout wins,

And swiping fun ball caps

And headbands and pins


Oh, I imagine what it would be like

To walk in weird places of tremendous height.

But such daydreams aren't real, oh, alas

Such extreme wishes never come to pass.
