My Posture While Walking

My head
             is six inches ahead of my neck
                          My neck
                                       is six inches ahead of my chest
                                       My breasts are bewildered
                                       along for the ride
                                                    My chest
                                                                 is six inches ahead of my lower body
                                                                              My feet
                                                                                           are racing behind my legs
                                                                                           panting to keep up
                                                                              My hands are
                                                                 pulling pencils + paper from bags
                                                    clambering to write this poem
