maker, worker, writer, do-er

Do!
I'm a human doing
I did calculus problems for fun
civil engineering problems as a self test
I climbed rock faces to see if I could
I sat on the edge of a road with cars passing on one side, and a hawk hovering on the other
mainly to dare the winds and gravity
I solved engineering problems at home
worked on computer problems people had told me were unsolvable
I walked, I climbed, I danced
anything but talk
ask me to talk and my mind seized
and now you want me to lie still?
heal?
is there a simpler language I could use?
I do
that's how I live
no, I cannot simply wait a while
fingers told to rest fidget
if I must sit still a while
at least
get me a sword to sharpen
