When you walk

when you walk

the thoughts

in your head

fall down your body

and into your feet 

(that’s science).

First,

they go into your shoulders

then deep in your chest

they’ll seek out your heart

but quickly move on

straight to your stomach

and in to your legs

they’ll try make you fall

(they can’t. they’re just thoughts).

Your thighs.

Your knees.

Your calves.

The tips of your toes.

Then,

before you know it,

they are gone.

Walked all over 

and left behind.
