Getting up every morning is like tying our shoes
Tying our shoes is like kicking someone and dislocating their finger
Shock of the morning sun straight in the eyeball is like tying our shoes
Tying our shoes is like stretching our cold stiff fingers
Going the distance is like tying our shoes in the dark quiet of the forest

Tying our shoes is like kicking the teenager and dislocating his finger
Standing in the driveway at night looking north over the mountains is like tying our shoes
Tying our shoes is like ordering a bagel and eating it
Half-vomiting sea water is like tying our shoes
Manipulating invisible objects is like tying our shoes in the forest
3.
Tying our shoes is like recognizing faces in the crowd
Going thru the avenues is like tying our shoes
Tying our shoes is like hurling ourselves forward through days
Kicking a karate opponent who tries to block with his hand dislocating his finger is like tying our shoes
Tying the child’s shoe is like tying our shoes
Emerging on unknown landscapes is like tying our shoes in the middle of the forest
