When I find my legs

 when I find my legs
I'll find my wheels
said the young woman
who had gotten such a whiff of life

beside her sports club
where people would yay and boo
and she would see them both the same way
soundboxes rubbing against each other

tickling the ear with cheap slang
forced laughter and calculated bravado
when I find my legs indeed
I'll find my wheels and drive

yet the sports center was a piece of her
even the confused attempts at comeradery
all colors and sounds and ego candy
when I find my legs I might just stay

and not walk out
or find night so I might drive out
Not find somewhere in an assembly line time to kill
trading all for sweet voyerism from the treadmill
