5280 feet
2021
"Standing
Walk on foot
tap the foot
Here at the foot
standing back
from foot to hand
the foot in the ring
a sock
fall standing
on the warpath
with feet of wool
down to earth
feet together
Always standing
on an equal footing
With how many feet do I discover the world.
Start with 5,280 feet”
