A French Trespasser
to an American Hero
A dream to walk in the sky between two
buildings
A goal to be a bird among the clouds
An idea that seem impossible
A strategy created by breaking into the twin
towersA complex plan with a bunch of simplicity
An obsession made a reality
A rope 1,368 feet in the air
A fearless, fun filled, French man
A crowd of people gathered to watch from below
“An echo of people cheering and screaming” says Philippe Petit
A man on a rope for 45 minutes
A rope with a man crossing it 8 times
A view like no other in the world
A call to the police to make sure there is no splat
An officer greeted to a man floating in the sky
“A tightrope dancer because you couldn’t call him a walker” says an officer
A man trespassing on a bird’s land, and the knowledge that it’s time to leave
A crime charged with 14 misnomers, but all charges dropped
A French trespasser to an American hero
I like the way that you described the scene and everything that happened on that day. Really good poem!
