Going into the Air

If you want to go into the air,
there is no right way to get there.
While birds may choose to take flight,
a lizard doing push ups might
effectively double his height.

David, This poem has really fun imagery! It reminds me of the day I caught my little MinPin imitating the push ups of a lizard on our deck.

Thanks, Andrea! I think it popped into my mind when I was watching a lizard by my house.
