Feet have a way of getting tired
it might be neurons

they might know it’s unfair

If I were a foot
I would think it unfair often

Maybe feet are assholes
at the body part conventions
they just complain

Maybe feet don’t feel that way
they know their job is important
suck it up
grin and bear it

As a kid I watched Béla Károlyi
tell gymnasts
“suck it up”
My parents horrified
pre-reality TV

As far as lessons go it’s not bad though
to land on the balance beam

you just have to remember
it’s not everything.
