So-big is never little
even-bigger will never compensate for being big in the first place
you are big
bigger than me
bigger than life
so big I can't see you
so big that my words need wings to reach you

but you can never be little
you can not pretend to be little
like me
like us
so tiny
tiny lives
tiny thoughts
tiny loves
we are small and we like it that way

I do not want to be big
and you can never be this little
so please keep your bigness to yourself
it has no place among the tiny
it is only clumsy and painful here
take it away and leave us to our little lives
