When I, able-bodied, branched out in the world
this timeshare idea never occurred to me
– I figure it might be a hard sell.
So how about this instead:
give us vacations from our disabilities
no one need tend them while we’re away
they’ll be waiting when we get back.
When I get my vacation
I will powwow with artists and herbalists
turmeric lemonade will sustain us
the sound of our jingles
the stomp of our feet on the ground
will sustain us
I will dance my way down
to the root.
