it’s not as if I am tearing them out
just filling them up one by one
some days its ten to one
very rarely skipping days
rocks maybe
never with my feet steady
stomping new boots and all
every three or four years
have to protect these feet
been on them for over forty years
it’s the least I can do
guessing there are plenty of steps
to take or not take
as the case may be
one I can’t carry alone
but I will drag it
if I have to move
anywhere it will probably
be up not quite the tower
where I once sat
but possibility only above
where I rest my head now
and again I could be wrong
direction driving myself crazy
because even though I work
for someone else I still
want to do a good job…
