ArtPoetry: Step Out

Poetry: Step Out

Step out

 

A track:

400 meter

Loops

No potholes

No cars

Reliable

Orange oval

 

A treadmill:

9.6 miles per hour

Legs: no chance to

Fail or
Slow

 

A home:

Peanut butter, top left cabinet
No smooth when I want

Crunchy

No skim when I want

Whole

Wheat bread: counter beside

Toaster – set to 5 for

Desired crispness

Favorite show:

Memorized lines

Songs from

 

High school:

Repeat

 

 

A panic:

Too familiar

An awakening:

Call of bird

Far off

Sun ray

A Pull:

Road and

Smooth peanut butter:

Unfamiliar song –

 

It turns out:

((sometimes))

I’ve been doing it all

Wrong

 

What’s my beef with sourdough

Anyway?
