Echinacea Stomp

On Kensington gravel roads the cars did yield

As they watched team echinacea move through the field

Knees high with measured steps, “Maybe they are dancing?”

Heads on a swivel with eyes alert, “Where are they Glancing?”

This way of walking may look funny

But you wouldn’t want to squash the plants now would you honey?

I call this walk the Echinacea Stomp

It helps us tread lightly on the prairies where we romp

It’s role in our practice in positively necessary

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not work in a cemetery
