Who Painted The Sky?
A poem about silly assumptions about leadership, agility, creativity and resilience
I want to know who painted the sky—
Did they use “design thinking”?
I want to know if the designer asked why—
Did they take one step at a time
Or practice and practice until they arrived
At their destination?
I want to know if the sun is an artist and if trying or being
Is what we are seeing?
I want to know if the sun went to school
And if its brilliance
Requires resilience?
Or rather, constant, shaky rumblings of its soul?
I want to know if the sun and the moon are a team
Or if that’s just the way it seems?
I want to know if they both must be agile
And if their success can be attributed to empathy?
Or is it just entropy
In the neural networks that surround us?
I want to know if the moon has emotional intelligence
Or if its connections to us come from some other resonance?
I want to know if the rainbow has policies
To manage its diversity?
Or it is just at the mercy…
