Weird

Do people say you’re
Weird
How does that effect
You
Do you feel inadequate
And small
Because you don’t fit
Into someone’s
Mold
Hold your head
High
Some of the worlds
Greatest achievements
Were created by
Weird people
Move forward with
Grace
And confidence
When called
Weird
Applaud yourself
For not being one
Of the crowd
Congratulations

Why does this image go with this poem?

This image is taken from North Point on the South of Storm King Mountain. The road is rte 218 which meanders around the edge of the Mountain, high above the Hudson River. I thought it worked well with this poem precisely because it doesn't fit or belong but it sure is a great achievement, as well as a fantastic driving experience. Someone had the vision, someone else made it happen and then later still after the future of Storm King was saved for us all it provides something extraordinary on a lazy Summer’s afternoon
