Something is speaking, but you don’t know the language.
Your body does, trips you, its knowledge
coding through into nerves of muscle, to balance.
You will need an app to help you stop, listen.
What is it saying? It’s saying
you’re stretched beyond your limits, a wire spring
about to buckle. It’s saying
listening is no good, but there’s still time
to save the debilitated, ruined.
Listen, and then act
by stopping doing.
Falling is just the beginning.
