I Walk My Walk

I Walk my walk,

A strut, in time, with a distant Metronome that tick, tick, ticks

away the seconds of my life.

But I don’t care

For I am impermanent,

Enlightened, amazed at the

Cells when they divide by themselves

And know when to quit.

I am impermanent,

A humble specter draped in flesh

Slavered in fat and minerals

Borrowing the very air I breath

For my time in the lemony sunshine

I Walk my walk,

A strut, in time, laughing and loving

My way to the finish line.
