Torsade Literary Space Right Effort (poem)
Right Effort
The easiest job is
Go, move, try
The hardest easiest job is
Fail, lose, retrace
The trap we make
Is a hero’s narrative
The underdog undertakes Endeavor
The person, rather
Who is tying shoes, is tying shoes
Who is picking up what will be tossed again
is picking up
what will be tossed again
Who is looking up the number to be called
…is letting the strength of at-hand
Be her bastion against fear
Tomorrow to try the one thing more
To put what the job demands
Into a clear unfuture-tormented mind
If each step is only one step yet
By the ordination of the passing days
The molehill first and the mountain next
Eight
Right Mindfulness
(2025, Stephanie Foster)
