follow the rules?

 
yes,  because the dentist says brushing teeth is vital
and my dreams command hiding from my shadow  
chased by the sun, a prisoner of days and moons  
 
and the gutters need  to be cleaned
and the trash goes out on fridays  
and sometimes

i even find my way up rocky step river cross paths  
to toe grab cliffs and jump in cold granite pools at noon  
or eat the wet brown earth and plant seeds in her warm belly at midnight
