A Thousand Miles

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 

The argument today
begins
with the decision to step at all.
Millions of brain cells,
micro moments,
a terrible effort
to break inertia, breathe
and breathe again,
lift an arm
a leg,
an eyelid.
Some days
simply unclenching
leaves you drained
enough to fall back asleep.  

What about the journey to the single step?
