How many steps does it take
to be truly away? How
are those steps measured?
Even if my feet weren't small
it is going to be a long walk for me.
You gave me a head start,
with your rightward shuffle
I was supposed to be
polite enough to ignore.
You gave me a head start,
with your rightward shuffle
I was supposed to be
polite enough to ignore.
And though I've paused
at this milestone moment,
I am too tired
not to keep walking
and wondering
how many steps
until I’m really away
not to keep walking
and wondering
how many steps
until I’m really away
and no longer expecting
to hear steps besides my own.
to hear steps besides my own.
