Momentum

Feel the weight of your human body
The one with fragile heavy brittle bones
Wrapped in a constant moving sheath
Of living striving wet and perfect muscle
Each one places you
Each one holds you
As the world moves around you
Under you
The bag pulls on your shoulder
The phone fills your hand
You fail to drop the phone
To save yourself
The body moves
It rests you
It keeps you
It holds you safe
You curse it
When it fails you
It fails you
It will
You will miss the confidant pull
Of erector spinae
You will miss the way with effortless ease
You pulled that door shut
Stayed upright on that rolling bus
Held your lover close with tight legs
It all ends
