Toying

Do you ever get the feeling

when walking that your

head and shoulders are

stretching for the clouds?

Remember Mr. Armstrong

the toy you can stretch

from head to toe

and his blood ran blue?

And how sometimes along the edge

of the road walking, the vertical

pushing on the legs causes them

to shorten; bottom falls out?

Our childish maneuvers brought

back to feelings in a walking moment-

"How come Mr. Armstrong didn't

come with clothes for his naked

body, like girls have with barbies?"

Well..at least Mr. Armstrong's

head didn't come loose; that

would be a whole different

walk-about-town experience

(fact of matter an allusion).
