wiggle your big toe
if you find yourself without the strength
nor the will do wield your body to move.
as long as your heart beats,
as long as your lung breaths,
wiggle your big toe.
let its wiggle reverberate slowly and gradually,
sending torrential wave throughout your body;
out of pity, out of spite, out of misery:
rise.
Rise and witness the world;
Receive from it and give thanks.
Reciprocate in kind.
