My Parachute Ropes

Listen to poem:

I move, I move, 
My wheels turn like wild things
My hands cry the rims
I run in my dreams
I jump with style
I dance

I move, and dance
My eyes sing like sopranos
My mouth uses color
Like a rainbow
Behind me
I run

I run and I run
The drip lines in my arm
Are parachute ropes
I steer them alone
To land here
I stand

I dream, I dream
Nothing keeps my mind
Inside my faltering
Little loving body
With dancing
Writing pen
