The Body
Today, when I was walking, I could hear myself
listening to my body and wishing I would begin
and not wait anymore to care for it.
Begin with conscious thought each day
shaping myself to become as I could will
more running … eating better … eating less
no coffee … more sleep … steady conscious
I’d love to love getting old
as best I can.
No taboos … just moderation
no more depressions as time flys
as you feel your body crying for help
between those everlasting immediate distractions
I want to begin … and so I’m still that one step away
from when I will … I’m still wishing.
