I never skipped the stone far enough
that walking on water miracle that everyone else could play on repeat
I wondered why the miracles always chose them
the last to wish a whistle form
the last to pedal against gravity, scraped and bruised
the last to summon a snap between thumbs
the washing-toes-water tickles
as i think -
I always sink
before the other stones
reach the opposite bank
but I don’t mind it down here.
