I never thought
working to improve
alignment would reveal
teeth set in jaws
on a misaligned skull,
throat twisted sideways
consciously moved to
straight between the ears
with each swallow
requiring I look up –
arms stretched out
until shoulders pop,
fingers fanned widely,
and Adam's apple
bobbing to lay the head
gently left then right
then centered again
across the forehead
allowing it all
to drop back down
in a new learned state

    I like it. At first I thought that this was the back of someone’s skull oddly shaped with no hair! It is a nice simple poem about something you do each day. I like the “adams apple bobbing” and being “centered” as the “new learned state”.

    Yeah a lot of these poem a day ones are just thrown out to get the day’s deed done.
