Centipede's Feet
Looking back to see
Reflections that are beyond me
Centipede’s feet lined up so neat
Some are oval and some are square
One then the other, or a pair
Will they move or do they dare?
Black, white, yellow, red, brown and blue
Each one’s color bold and true
No matter, they don’t wear a shoe
Motionless the feet do not move
The color red holding them like glue
An animal in a cage at a zoo
Finally on the cue of green
The centipede’s feet slowly begin to careen
Gleefully, gliding to their daily scene
