Heel & Toe To The End

Gagarin says, in ecstasy,

he could have

gone on forever

he floated

at and sang

and when he emerged from that

one hundred eight minutes off

the surface of

the earth he was smiling.

Then he returned

to take his place

among the rest of us

from all that division and

subtraction a measure

to and heel

heel and toe he felt

as if he had

been dancing
