i'll try to speak clearly for a moment
(my throat chokes
now and then
in thirst and dust),
so, if you would, listen closely.

i'm whiny and self
righteous
and pretentious
about everything i see and touch and taste
today. I don’t stand much.

but i'm just working on moving my legs,
they're stiff after a long rest this winter.
i'd really appreciate it if you gave me this chance
to stretch before you slide ten steps ahead of me.

i'm pretty sure i'm not consistent,
that i lie,
and relatively certain that i've never set my mind.

but maybe if you heard this,
and stopped for a second,
(believe me! You’re curious
About whether I’ll say something
This time)
i could walk next to you
and be sure of my steps for once.
