A Plan
No matter how hard I try-
 It's always too heavy to lift.
 No matter how high I reach, its just
 two inches higher.
 I can't do this anymore!
 If I keep stretching myself higher- I'm eventually going to
 SNAP.
 But if I don't- its like saying I'm BROKEN
 when I am not.
 I used to make puzzles with my grandmother-
 I would try to jump right in, but she would tell me, "Look-
 -there's a picture on the box."
 She would
 trace my little hands along the edges
 a security blanket. I don't need to think-
 when I have a box- a PLAN.
 And then I needed the picture. It-
 helped me to-
 put things together. To make everything
 fit.
 But what if there IS no picture.
 What then.
