don’t try to define
what by nature is mutable,
not fixed, quicksilver
& led by Mercury
these feet slip traps (even
your careful ones)
easier
to run with
or a little ahead
of me, a game of tag
or a race
as I resist a chase
but love pursuit
of bright & shiny things
that’s how
you’ll catch me
dazzled, breathless
& thinking
it was me after you
all along
