Knee scream.

M-are-I
a hot dog eased into a hi-tech bun?
III
Have you ever dated a claustrophobic frank?
IV
Medial collateral ligament rip, right?
Right. The right.

Femur. Patella. Tibia. Beneath

Little fails don’t feet me now. The miles
of 1,000 starts journeys with one step:
weak down the stairs on the walk leg;
up strong the stairs on the start leg.

A New Negro movement. A New Negro move
meant: think about it, there’s more to this this
than this that.
XV
Walking is nothing
but a constant
recovery from a fall.
