hoping for the moon

i see the entitled child
up in the clouds.
his small hand gripping
a dozen
red balloons.
his parents stand below
and wave goodbye.
they did the best they could
giving him
everything he ever wanted,
indulged his
every desire,
and at last he's gone.
now away
he goes.
further and further
into the sky,
overconfident
and hoping for the moon.
