Tanka Steps


Before I open

my mouth and insert my foot,

I think I’ll just take

that foot and step away from

all I was about to say.

~~

                 ~~

Taking ten thousand

steps a day builds health, or so

they say. My goal is

to step, step up, step away

each as needed through the day.
