Imitating B Hiding Under & L Hiding Behind My Exercise Mat (2nd January 2024)

 

New Year's resolutions made while balancing on one leg
A white tiger eats my right foot
As a pink flamingo eats a mole on the side of my left thigh
I request space
I receive little
A green caterpillar sings classic children's songs
While my daughters bob in unison
Then one spins
While the other one claps
The youngest laughs at my eyebrow
And honks my nose
Before smacking her own
I request space
I receive little
I lie down
Before long I feel the weight of two small beings on my back
It was expected
They always do it
I shift
I lie on my back
Someone sits on my stomach
Gives me a hug
Then reclines on my legs
And kicks my belly
I request space
I receive little
Beneath a lunge
A forehead kiss is offered
I appreciate how far we have all come
And how we are all here
I complete the poses
With little space
1.25x speed
And still so little time.
