Heel & toe to the end
by William Carlos Williams
- Gagarin says, in ecstasy,
- he could have
- gone on forever
- he floated
- at and sang
- and when he emerged from that
- one hundred eight minutes off
- the surface of
- the earth he was smiling.
- Then he returned
- to take his place
- among the rest of us
- from all that division and
- subtraction a measure
- to and heel
- heel and toe he felt
- as if he had
- been dancing
