what kind of animal began to stand
on such small feet? And only two?
What vertical absurdity!
What upright madness!
Perhaps we were imitating the trees--
lifting our arms,
wishing for roots--
and then forgot to set ourselves
back down on four, more
rational feet--
our longing grew our fingers longer,
twigs into branches--
for if you long hard enough,
do you not find fruit
in your palms?
I return to this point of wonder.
