I may reach things easier,
see over crowds and generally
receive the default of respect
but seats in airplanes and cars
can be painful as well as bumping
heads on what others pass under
I’ve learned how to be five foot nine,
stoop to even four foot eleven and
will go to my knees to give hugs
though I’ve found it never works
pretending to be an antelope
living inside a giraffe
because no matter the housing
or how they’re carried,
every heart is the same size
