"Chris Lynch was born with twelve fingers in the jungles of PNG. He has also lived in Australia, the USA, China, and Japan. Prone to crazy ideas, he has run off and joined the army, walked the length of Japan, eloped, started Tangled Bank Press, and eaten goat testicles. Thankfully, not all at once. He blogs at www.chrislynch.com.au".
Homo pedestrius
Two legs are a series
of elegant falls:
of elegant falls:
all progress depends
on undoing what was done,
on undoing what was done,
one foot falling
and then the other
and then the other
smacking dirt,
phalanges spreading
phalanges spreading
and springing back. This is
the beauty of walking—
the beauty of walking—
to walk is
to be human.
to be human.
I stand, step out
doors into sun
doors into sun
or moonlight.
Feel the spread
Feel the spread
and spring
of each step
of each step
and remember:
before anything
before anything
I am the primate
that walks.
that walks.
