Backpacks

Hiking's best done
As in all things
When all parties shoulder up
Congruency loads
To walk in harmony
With equal weights on backs
Is primitive goodness
Quartered elk foursome
Walking toward home

It's rough to carry more
Than anyone else
But extra sweat earns value
Satisfaction to bear

What's worse is the curse
Of hauling much less
Than others at hand
Alienation regress
'limination from packs
Walking off planks
All starts with the imbalance
Less weight pulled by one
