Head over Heels When was the last time? Would it be insane to tuck my head between my heels and roll? I wonder if I dare to try again, to turn the clock back, prove myself, regain that former sense of physical control. When was the last time? - would it be insane to recreate a younger, suppler train of thought, feel freedom in my soul, I wonder. If I dare to try again, setting the memories tumbling through my brain, will all the answers follow like a scroll? When was the last time? Would it be insane, or do I risk dismantling the chain that, once in pieces, never can be whole? I wonder if I dare. To try again should stay a dream - but yet, against the grain I feel the question shaping to a goal. When was the last time? Would it be insane, I wonder, if I dare to try again? D. A.
