Above the Ground With Rocket Man
He's almost five. He's a little slow, He focuses and lets go of the umbilical cord then boldly walks where no man has gone this day. As his hand moves further away from his grandmother, the more resolved he is chasing a bubble, while the more unresolved the grandmother is.
His mask hand drawn in paper with wiggly lines that never connected To him this is the mask of Rocket Man, the Hero he will become.
His mother found an old shirt to stand-in as the mask. The eyes cut out by boy wonder specially marked out and started by his mom. His glasses Thick and clean. He's in his mothers arms after the parade is over that supports Families with a parent struggling to support his or her famiy after serving a term in prison.
