Work

There we go; that's it

Just bend a little bit more

Fingers brush my toes

*

Long, powerful strides,

Pounding the pavement. Thump, thump.

Don't break a leg, kid.

*

Back to grass and dirt

Chest heaving skyward and down

That was good work today

Request

You need not leave home,

But do clean, cook, and nurture.

A simple request.

Moon

Between Earth and Moon,

B'sides thousands of satellites,

Only open space
