Slip

Over heels head goes and with it
my bottom is firmly planted
but upwards in that nighttime air.
I messed up walking down
the stairs, again.
Really, this is no murder case nor
high level bank fraud,
no this is a simple case of walking
on slightly elevated slabs
of wood at a fixed distance.
Is this rocket science?
NO! Nor brain surgery, you
goofy legged fool!
This is simple foot mechanics.
If you cannot figure out
lowering or raising
ones digits approximately five
that is five inches
in a continual motion,
then I do not know what we
are even doing here.
Resting in a heap, actually.
