The Whole Notion

Muscle memory and bone used to pick

Up cumbersome objects makes work so smart.

Despite the thing being thin or just thick,

Bending knees, and keeping straight is a start.

The economy of motion allows

The individual to display some

Stoic physical feats where she follows

Strict maneuvers to show the best outcome.

Each bead of sweat is a reward for her.

But she continues to be in a stance.

In work or exercise, she’s not a blur.

She’s clear in knowing just how she might dance.

To dance is to express true emotion.

It is less might that is the whole notion.
