ENSEMBLE
Joseph Roccasalvo
Fiction Writer of Novels & Short Stories; Graduate School Mentor
Arms and legs, by alternation,
Work in swift collaboration.??
?
Body parts, they play their role
Ensuring harmony of the whole.
?
The head proves helpless without feet
Which, in their zest to be athlete,
?
Concede a truth that’s all but said:
“We can do nothing without a head.”
?
Minus a mind, the torso’s fate
Is like a ponderous paperweight.
?
The truth that earns approval’s seal:
“Harmonious selves remain ideal.”
