Ode to the Aging Body
Oh how I long to be turned upside down
To see a new perspective
Shake out the dust bunnies
Be a kid again
When did life get so serious? When I was a child, my favorite thing to do was handstands. I’d practice for hours in my grandma’s living room counting the seconds I could stay upside down. I couldn’t wait until mom got home from work so I could show her. The last handstand I did was Sunday, October 18, 2015. I have calcification in my wrists now, so I can’t do handstands.
