Untitled
I want to ride a horse barefoot through meadows of stringy green grass
Clamber aboard the back of an elephant, the trunk swinging merrily to and fro
Sway side to side on the hips of a camel, marching through golden sands
Admire the newspaper stripes of a zebra
I want to move through life
Moving too and fro, swaying gently
Like an ancient belly dancer
Experience the dips and curves of the ground
As my hair streams back in the wind
And sweat dries on my neck
Because
You cannot experience
This kind of dance
Inside a car
As the hoofbeats plod out their rhythm
My body subconsciously
Bending and acclimating to the pattern
As my mind flies to other lands
The movement calms my mind
