Being Small

How does a man make himself small?

Can he pass through a keyhole and stay 10 feet tall?

When he tumbles like Alice, down a rabbit hole of blame,

Should he eat condemnation and shrink into shame?

A keyhole his exit, but the locked truth will not turn

Eat me, Drink me, then be humbled and learn.

What is he losing? What is the cost?

A portrait of power, now pummeled and lost.

His pride will be sifted, as he’s redeemed from the fall

To eat, drink and remember, a joy from being made small.
