Dewey's Awesome Power

Except for my glasses frames
and my belly (a bit),
the only part of me I can see
when I’m walking—my darting feet,
making me understand those people
(studied by anthropologists)
who carry their souls with
in little bags—
I carry my soul with wherever I walk
on my beautiful feet,
feeling the earth full
of some fiery juju that impels me.
The sight of my feet always delights me.—
How can I ever completely
give up on God's love while I can worship
my spirit-dwelling feet?
