step by step by step
breath by breath by breath
there is only one step to
be taken at a time; one breath
to breathe, it is one and then
the next, a linear progression
a simple plan. That’s all it is.
It must have been that way for
Mary and Joseph through hot days
and cold nights, always
one step and one breath
at a time.
they had to have been worried;
grown tired-bone tired
but they kept going,
simply doing their civic duty
getting ready to help
turn the world upside down
by walking and using the
power of breathing.
