instinct

the best throw,
a spiral from your hand, your
arm extended,
your feet firmly
planted in the turf
goes where you want it to
go. no thought
to it, just your body
making a move.
instincts taking over.
reaction,
no pressing, no thinking
involved.
and so it goes
for much of life.
the written word,
the painting. a heartfelt
kiss.
less thought, more
instinct, makes
it work.
