Mind Tide

Balance is foreign to me.

I take ease in an uneven paved ground.

Cracks in the sidewalk.

Pot holes in the road.

That creates a peace for me.

If at all I could keep my balance in a room where the only light was from that from a street post, slightly framing the window, and outlining the place on the hardwood that I would stand, from my heel to my big toe, 

My shadow would portray a figure of speech,

saying "Hello, I am who I am. A swaying, knee shaking, lip quivering me."
