NaPoWriMo 2022 - Day #12: small things
My favorite movie growing up –
not some Disney trash –
was The Incredible Shrinking Man.
It may have been too complex
for my child’s mind, but when it came
on TV you could not pull me away.
The way his family gave up hope
when they thought the cat ate him
as he shrank to smaller than a mouse
made me feel so sad for him.
And then, when he set the mouse trap
for food, my heart skipped a beat.
But most memorable was his battle
with the spider, using a straight pin
like a sword to kill the beast.
In the end, he continued shrinking
Until he reached subatomicity,
where only God could hear his pleas.
