Everyday first steps every day
What if we refused to walk
Unless it was a spectacle?
Every step: a parade to open arms.
Instructions:
Lift slowly from a squat,
Smiling over two fat feet.
Soft pads flat on
A fresh plane of existence.
Two arms like scarecrow
Outstretched to catch the sun.
Drop it so Other lights revive:
Your unknowing spirit
Telling you to
Try again.
