The alarm goes
And so do I
Don’t just sit around, my girl
Boots, gloves, jacket, hat
And out the door for a walk
.
Brrr, it’s cold today
At least the grocery shop is warm
.
5,437 steps
Is that enough?
Settle, petal
Settle, petal
.
After lunch
Itchy feet
Well, it’s a nice sunny day for it
.
Thud thud thud
Boots on the boardwalk
Scrunch scrunch scrunch
Boots on the sand
.
10,414 steps
Is that enough now?
Settle, petal
Settle, petal
.
Restless feet
In the low golden light
Time for an after-dinner wander
.
Car lights
Carve streaks into the night
Steaming breath curls and rises
Like silent prayer
.
15,042 steps
Is that enough now?
Settle, petal
Settle, petal…
Settle.
