back two lives ago, i was a fish,
fat and healthy, i swam miles and miles,
from a pond down a river,
through a lake to the sea.
for how many years, did i live without seeing the ground?
i knew i lived centuries,
i grew legs and crawled on the bottom of the ocean floor.
how many years, did i live without seeing the ground?
ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years,
so why is it that when i feel light on my feet now,
when i'm an exhale away from flying,
i get scared, and drag myself back down to the flat of the earth?
