Staying Fit

The sun is very fond

of angles

seen by the way its rays

fall, tri- as shadows

And water whatever

its form

always prefers the circle

we see how it rolls

and cycles

But man is polygon

a demigod

multisided form

with untold sides

Facets

to catch the light

prismatic

perplexed as how

to move arm or leg

ahead

Or sip liquid

through a straw

to reach the brain

decisions complicated

enough

without adding conscious

hiccup

as how to stay in shape

or fit oneself

into space
