Stop.
Stop being a mason without the ring
building brick walls you cannot break through.
Stop pretending they are insurmountable
and you are Humpty Dumpty.
Stop.
Stop being Atlas and shrug it off
like a light dusting of November snow.
Stop believing this is all yours to carry
and that your knees will break.
Stop.
Stop being an earthbound astronaut soldered to the earth
by 12 layers of biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate.
Stop pulling on the heavy boots that
won’t let you fly.
Stop.
And then.
Go.
Be.
Do.
Live.
Fly . . . .
