Machine
Amazing, really.
What the body can do.
Not so much
the auto-pilot stuff
(which is also amazing,
all that breathing
and beating and
digesting.)
But consider the rest.
Consider standing on
one's head or turning
cartwheels.
Consider recognizing
the tones of cherry
or pepper in a glass
of red wine.
Consider sketching
an object- a bus or
a rose- from memory.
Consider singing
or keeping time with
a tambourine.
Consider pedaling
a bicycle, or flying
a kite, or sliding
into third.
Consider dancing
in all of its forms.
Consider wielding
a hammer or a knife.
Consider lifting heavy
objects, or running long
distances, or jumping,
yes, consider jumping
up or across.
Consider how we
convey a thought with
just our eyes,
just our hands.
Aren't we beautiful
and interesting and
fun to touch?
