While Walking This Morning

While walking this morning it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps I wasn't moving at all. That somehow instead my feet were rotating the world beneath me and I was actually pinned stock still held in place and waiting firm in my position like the stars themselves. I experimented a bit and kicked backwards and sure enough the whole world responded moving away from me and rolling forward. And it was then I realized that if I only had a proper map I could spin the world around in the just right combination that would cause you to appear. Or perhaps like these old constellations I had become a fixed point reference that you could use to navigate and finally find me waiting patiently for you, kicking my toe into the dirt and causing the world to shudder.
