If I could power the world with feet
heat would flood my torso
and fire up the furnace
of a million lights inside
the embers of kinetic chance
glinting in minds’ eye.

that generate new life
in places dark and dank—
a little piece for everyone
free from power banks,

striding staunch and free,
omitting fossil force
with communal energy.
If I could power the world with feet—
I’d give it all to you,
then you would pay it forward
and turn the tables true.
