how could that be?
tired and short legs don't wander home
so easily
and wrapped up in thought legs can't stand up straight
for so long
I gladly report that once these legs walked up mountain sides
but when I woke up they didn't want to stand under me
how could that be
how could that be?
dwarflike stumps don't make great arms for a man like me
six feet tall and unable to shake any hand
shoulders that thump don't take much weight for delivery
only wish I could change their shape on demand
I don't understand
how could that be?
