Musings on Walking (post-op)

To only talk and not walk

Or to walk only to stalk


Or to do neither but lie still as a rock


Congeals all muscles

Like the last of the pasta stock.


This spring I'll try

Simply walking the walk.

  2. One thing at a time. I think walking the walk it is.
    I was grinning at the "last of the pasta stock". One day without movement and that's what I feel like and now, you've named it for me! Wishing you a pleasant Spring.
