&quot;Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.&quot;<br /> -Mark Twain


a man
who
always
had
his head
in the clouds

walked down
the
Street
one day

thinking of Dreams
of great
grandeur
for himself

I Shall Rule Many
People Someday
And I Will
Improve The World
he decided

as he crossed
at a busy
Intersection.

but he did not
look Both Ways
before crossing
and a Truck
hit him

he never came back
down to Earth.
