Ambition

Ambition



I wanted to hang the moon and its glowup from my ceiling to brighten my nightsthey said I was foolish and I should knowthat I had no claim to purloin satellites(was I not content with electric lights?)I told them my plans could still reach fruitionand they were the ones who lacked ambition

I required a mountain in my back yardcomplete with eagles, snow, crags and a peakthey said the logistics were far too hardthat my neighbours’ views would be much too bleak(a small rockery is what I should seek)I told them they showed no true intuitionand mountains came to those with ambition

sure my attic could hold a universeone hatchway to some endless diversionthey said: ‘you’re deluded or maybe worseno house could contain such an incursion’(could I not accept a loft conversion?)I told them they had no sense of visioninfinite’s the limit of my ambition
