Son, The Highest Cloud Is The Floor Of Heaven

Are you sure
That’s where it is, Dad–
Do you think one cloud
Can hold us all up,
Support us, I mean?
I mean if we put
Ten people
In our treehouse, Dad,
You know there’re gonna
Fall right through the bottom
To the ground.

    The poem networks your journey from here to there.
    There is here, here is there and anywhere, everywhere.
    And lovely.

      Thank you for paraphrasing a Beatles song. But I must go on record as dedicating this poem to Betty Mulrooney, Joe Curran, and Peter Iacangelo.
