'Catching the infinite
possibilities of falling'
into traveling and ––––
direction could shift
a piece and two
why not three
an image a score
I call you
you said yes
I am ––– standing
a catch a fall I wait
I walk - walking
walking the longest walk
I am standing
I am spiraling
I am catching
I am moving
I am catching ––– you
in motion
the spinning and pushing
and rolling and waiting
I agree
I fall - the ground
never
been
never
gone
too
far
I keep it
I am rolling
still rolling
not yet
I am pausing
I am out
I am –––
rolling wheels
calling
again
and
again
and again
A STAND
I just fell
PAUSE
I just feel I told you
I just fell I told you
I just wanted to tell you
that I fell feel fell feel
I just wanted to say that
I am holding it
I just wanted to say that
I am staying
I just wanted to say that
I can only go backwards
through the orange pathway
I can show you my ankles
you'll be surprised
how much weight they can hold.
I can walk backward
say it
and run away.
The orange pathway
and the infinite
possibilities of calling.
