How do they not see him?

draft  free-verse  poetry  ]

Do you know what liminal means?
It’s when you go on a walk,

And you spend a while,
(It feels scary sometimes)

Before you ever reach somewhere.
Make sure to look up now and then.

Spiderman told me too.
Sometimes I look up and see him,

Saving my city.
I don’t think anyone can wear the mask.

But we must look up from the ground.
To not see Icarus fall down,

But to see that he also flew,
A defiance of his small stature.

Marvel in our small stature,
and adore how large we feel,

among the metallic trees
upon which we swing.
