My Boots or Losing Meaning
by MTC Cronin

How big am I?
I wouldn’t try stuffing me into a car
or even a bus
I can’t fit in a house
and would squash the world if I sat
on top of it
How did this happen?
I woke up one day - not from sleep -
and decided to take every bit of me
into consideration
and of course discovered
I was not to be extricated
and for the first time - at least
with realization - safely ensconced
in it all it dawned I was too big
for my boots!
No fear!
The boots did their best
and I’ve gigantically pulled up
my socks
But don’t try forcing me into anything
smaller than the cosmos
or some of the meaning might
get lost
