Standing for defining
If we're defined by things we stand for,
then I stand for still standing trees
and the occasional offensive comment when the atmosphere
has drooped stale between you and I or any stranger for that matter.
And you know what else?
I stand for hammocks,
well,
technically I sit,
but more so I stand for appreciating standing
because legs aren't things the whole world has
and neither are hammocks or trees or hikes
because hikes are things I really stand for.
Especially when standing at the edge
of a chunk of archaic earth overlooking the masterpiece
and it's you and the still standing trees and your legs and the sky.
I stand for people who stand for things,
people with passion that make your heart beat like cliffs falling.
I stand for big fat monsterous fear conquering dilemmas
when your mouth is a metaphorical desert and your internal slogan generator is screaming
JUST DO IT
and so you just do it. [insert Nike sign]
I stand for the ones that stand on four legs
because two legs aren't better than four.
I stand for a lot of things
however, snooping through friends cupboards out of pure curiosity is something
I don't stand for
It's just something I do.
