heavy legs

we walk and crawl and bawl and squawk and talk and groan and moan and frown and drown and sway and play and howl and growl and fuss and cuss and scream and dream and make and take and give and live and try and die and huddle and cuddle and hug and shrug and gut and cut and bash and crash and...
we sit, we grit, our teeth, and tie our hands in knots.
And wriggle our toes and twiddle our thumbs and the sun comes up and sleep is a word and the skates on our feet are heavy and our heads are light and the blankets and covers separate us from the others, we are one and we are none, alone, not quite; we aren't.
