it writes itself
the body memorizes
the sudden things
and the gradual things
one shoulder comes lower than the other
callouses on the feet
the leap over a puddle

asymmetries
one side of your face
does not match the other
one hand becomes bigger
one foot
one sprained ankle
one broken thumb
knits back a remembrance of place
somewhat there

that walk on the seven foot wall
that as well
riding a bicycle
how often you sit on the grass
and do you dance?

how to slice a mango
and shell a crab
useful things
you flipped the egg
and hung a spoon on your nose
