Meeting The Paved World

My feet finally

Met the paved

World after much delay,

And after wrestling

While

Still in pj's,

I almost let

Myself get

Buried

Under so much

Reality..then

I became my own

Super-hero for

Awhile

And forgot

My illness

Which kept

Trying to

Remind me with

Each step,

Of my lead filled

Legs and crackling joints

That I am still far

Behind my unattained life
