I stand on my own two feet
my left foot stands on my right this is not bright, my brain says my left foot retreats my feet stand side by side my right foot creeps left covers my left foot this is, says my brain, not good it knows expressions like, shooting oneself in the foot and then there's another, it remembers, about stumbling over one's own feet but what about standing on one’s own foot? my eyes look down it doesn't even look like standing on one's own two feet though actually I'm not standing I'm sitting but my feet stand one on the other my right foot on my left how did this start? why did this start? it keeps both feet warmer, it keeps them in touch with each other but is that all? isn't that a bit simplistic? so what deep and perhaps nefarious thing might it say that I sit with one foot over the other, top big toe playing with bottom big toe? both feet are keeping still except for the toes which keep each other company neither foot can go forward but when I stand up I stand on my own two feet when I stand up it doesn't feel comfortable one foot over the other in the meantime I continue to wonder about my standing on my own two feet while sitting
