One Foot Two Foot

shuffle as I park

one limb at a time

on this path of usefulness

used a long while to

who knows when – see

that fellow across the street

just a skinny twenty

used to be my size of

movement but I can still

do my thing-

one two and a one two

step at a time

a little shaky these days

just glad to make it

to the garbage bin

with a bag of leftover

scraps as I get

older along the way.
