Ostrich Feet


It is hard to have ostrich feet

getting up in the morning is a struggle

riding a bicycle even worse

the strain of looking for normal feet.

when rain hardens the ground
it is truly hard to get around

even harder to cultivate friendships

when size 13 is even too big.
what to wear is not an issue

I dream of walking backwards down alleys
along decks of ships
clinging to brittle branches
possibly even swimming

swimming lessons when summer arrives
at my door.

to be an english tunnel swimmer
would be the most fantastic trip of all

and would put my feet to good use.
