Sand Ripple Rock Pool Sunset

Bigger Than Yourself

I read in a book today
To keep looking
At things bigger than yourself.

But how big?

When I was a wean, the carter's cuddy
Was magnificently muckle.
Now, would an elephant be big enough?
Is a giraffe actually more gigantic?
Would a great shark suffice?

I wish there were dinosaurs still.
No problem then!

I'm not going to worry about it,
And just stand here to watch God
Polish off
This
Here
Sunset
For a wee while longer.

(It wasn't a very big book).
