Body Notes #4 

My Legs are in Texas 

I will be here when you get here

It’s been hard to stand on my legs since the election of hatreds. 

Bad news is bad knees and a bad connection. 

I can’t stand the gravity of not sharing our land with others. 

Have you ever crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico to Texas?

One side to the other looks exactly-the-same. 

You are stepping on the same seismic material: same rocks, same clay, same sand, same dust. 

We can walk to Mexico in Texas and you can walk to Texas from Mexico. 

Some places it’s two giant steps.

My legs feel like running to round up all the officially sanctioned crazies who hurt people in the name of the US Government. 

My legs are frantic to stop the family separations, to take a stance, want to help the tiny children stay at their parents’ breasts and the keep the big children clinging to their legs. 

We have so much space in America for our history of building a better country with immigrants from other countries to be authenticated loudly.

My legs have a long heritage of Ireland and Hungary to thank for their stance on this green earth that is as brown as Texas. 

My legs are only one generational birth away from not having a stake in this country. 

My legs want to walk with the new immigrants across the Rio Grande and into America. 

My legs want the tread of my tired feet to become a beacon for liberty and for this instantaneous international walk to be a homecoming-for the freedom we are now so dearly lacking. 

My legs are devastated for our country. 

My legs want to cross the border. 

 Body Notes are inspired by listening and conspiring with the body.
