I rock sometimes,
Seated cross-legged here
Between bouts of writing;
x
It works out my lower back
And keeps me in motion,
Which seems important
In the smaller ways
To do so;
x
I might like the rocking chair,
I don’t know;
There is an association
That could be revised:
x
Saving the rocking chair for age,
For those still in motion
Not going anywhere

We’re all going somewhere. I can imagine some travel further in their heads, rocking in their chairs, than some do on their infernal global holidays.

Yes, I’m sure you’re right. Thoreau used to say he traveled far and wasn’t referring to his two-mile daily walks into Concord then back.

No. Those kind of distances can’t be measured.
