What do you see
When you look, but
Do not
Actually
See me?
Is it the shadow
Of what you believe
You ought to
See,
Or the reflected
Image
Of what you wish
You could
Be,
Or what you think
I must be
In order
To be visible
Enough
To be verified
As me?

I know the father. Objectively this little guy’s dad isn’t particularly tall, but this wasn’t about being objective … To his son, the father may as well be the giant of all giants.
“Yea,” the preschooler nodded emphatically. “My daddy is even more bigger than …” he scanned the room for inspiration, “… a whole Empire State Building house or even more bigger than …” he narrowed his eyes in concentration, opened them wide, “a giraffe!”
