Walking is good for you
They see it and I know it
But, out there
There are people out there
Moms out there
New ones with their babies
Young ones with their daughters

Grandmas with their new mom daughters
Surprise and love and awe for each other
The self consciousness that neither can see in the other
And worry, always worry.

They are out here
while I walk

Until
The scream chokes in my throat
The cramp squeezes my heart
My knees buckle and
I walk away.

Walking is good for you
