Get a Move On
Sep 17, 2022
I heard a group of geese headed for warmer weather
even though the calendar says summer’s still here.
They’re probably a get-to-the-airport-early kind of gaggle.
Many of us choose to leave lovers before they leave us.
They say you should quit while you’re ahead and step
down when you’ve reached the pinnacle of your career.
Lactic acid gives our muscle the energy to react quickly.
Latent fears and hungry hopes can add to this cocktail
urging us to sprint mindlessly towards who knows what.
