Must
propel
pulling up
on bannister
pushing on door frame
to find that extra boost
and grabbing at corners to
whip quick changes of direction
like a spaceship slingshotting around
Jupiter heading out of star system
til it is time to slow the ship down
grasping rail on the way as brake
coming to Earth on retro
no longer propelling
forward to future
but still grabbing
the handles
until
rest.
