Who’s Crazy

by Dayle King

“You’re crazy,” they said,

“to aim for the stars.

The stars are

much, much too high.”

“You’re silly!” they shouted.

“Look at yourself;

You’re human,

you can’t even fly.”

And so as I jumped

and sprang and leaped,

Laughing

they all stood around.

I did not reach the stars,

as they said,

But at least

my feet left the ground.
