Skills

As I once learned to balance a bike,

by listening to muscles I didn’t know I had,

so have I learned every thing that I know,

and every thing I can do;

Learning to look, and to feel

some untouchable essence

composing the core,

with my hands,

with my eyes,

with those muscles I neither feel nor can name nor control

(at first);

Intuition, trained,

sight and touch, sharpened,

skills, grown

like the blind grasp of evolution finding form for a fitness
