Boating Among Upright Mammals

My reclining wheelchair is like a boat,

surrounded by a sea of upright mammals.

Sometimes the chair feels like a trap, from which I so deeply yearn to be set free.

Yet still, other times it is simply a boat.

And at times, a lingering self-consciousness creeps in reminding me that it requires more horizontal space than an upright mammal.

Sometimes I long for the sea, where mammals dip in and out of waves, stretching their body the long-ways, so easily acquainted with pleasures you cannot always feel if you're always upright.
