Backbend becomes a way of life.
The arch, a shortcut people take for granted.
You hold that pose,
forget the traffic,
notice the new routine.
Your flexibility and your firmness
get along, according to observers,
who think you infrastructure
that accommodates
their small parades.
You play a part
in famous people's goals,
the world's easiest individual
to know, to ask, and to depend on.
Someone usual as rain,
as winter snow.
