The Leg

The system of the leg, for example, is immediate to the leg. The system of the extension and recoiling of the leg. From the brain comes a netting of leg options that is loosed upon the various land rocks and river rocks. The leg considers the leg options and drops. The leg communicates with the foot. The foot either does or does not find footing. Much of the activity of the leg depends on whether or not anybody is around. Does another person consider your leg? And if so, is that from the inside or the outside? It is rare that I am by myself, says the leg. The leg is not lonely. The leg extends knowing already that it will extend into. No effort is wasted. Don't you want to wait for me? My net blows out into the wind. There is a person I am with. His net blows out into the wind. They brush by each other and both nets land cleaner.
