Swizzle Stick

Meant

I was meant
to be mobile
onwardly
upwardly
& otherwise

I was meant
to tread
boards
to pace
public space

I was meant
to dance
to tango or
foxtrot or
jazz ballet

I was meant
to hike
in wilderness
ride a bike
rigorous
climb towers
vigorous

I was meant
to move
worlds
& myself

I never meant
to be stiff
& slow, my limbs
in pain

no, I never
meant to be lame
