sitting or doing

sitting or doing
dying or moving
a slug in a chair or a dance down a stair

choosing apathy or energy
to move or not to move
to hold a couch down or plant a willow tree

inside doing nothing or outside doing everything
sitting or doing
plunking or moving

stationery or frenzied
choosing fat or muscles
sitting or doing

dying in a recliner or digging a garden
watching TV or wrestling a bear
the choice is yours
