at times it seems
more
natural to crawl
or float, slide slowly
on an horizontal plane, as if
anything else along the way
is
more
approachable
other creatures, easier
to talk to, touch, or tell words
very quietly
gravity
no longer pulling
the spine curves outwards
inwards, like child’s pose
sideways,
as lizzards on arid ground
what used to be the floor of a lake
about 4 million years ago
exactly when the first bipeds were already walking and standing
a new axis stabilizing
calibrating
they called them hominin
australopithecus anamensis
