"The Next Big Thing" by Ellen McLoughlin

The Next Big Thing(s)

The next Big Things followed the previous
thousand Big Things that
seem to occupy my mind in a single moment,
None of which turn out to be very big after all.
Maybe one or two were mid-sized
But the remaining 9,998 were actually small enough
To be forgotten
In the space of the Next Big Things
Which in turn were small enough
to fit into the mind of a peeper frog.

I wish I could empty all these Big and small things
from my mind.
And for a moment, just disappear.
