Slouching Away from Progress

Stoop to indicate readiness --
posture is a plague of upright legibility
raging like a Pacific Saturday
surfboards striking backs

Stand up straight to prove 
lines are your grooves
ruler fate and measure once
cutting cutting cutting

Give a slouch and get a couch
exchanges for the health
narrow narrow striking arrow
strangeness or more wealth

Bending trees are likely standing
taut ones will go down
breezes like the less commanding
supporting curving crowns
