Overachiever
The sun overachieved
when she provided light, warmth, direction, security and reassurance
to the solar system.
The moon overachieved
when it reflected, drew tides, cast shadows and fed poets
mottled metaphors.
The stars overachieved
when they gave Hollywood a reputation, grains of sand a run for their money,
and inspired the search for Graham’s number.
There’s a woman with blond hair, tall, blue eyes, imagination of a harlequin,
and an inclination to call herself
overachiever.
