A friend relayed the first phrase; I thought it poetic. Then I learned it was scientific. I've taken the advice of a reviewer and updated by centering, to mirror the sense better. Thank you, my reviewer! Updated words.

 

   Stark Trek

 

Walking is a controlled fall, they say,

literally – the trek

from four to two, and balancing ever after,

self-conscious creatures delirious at

doffing the animal self, freedom's

unwitting captives,

 ponderous,

plodding.

I love the way you formed this one. If centered, it would image the balancing act of bipeds. Cool title, too, which is what caught my eye. Nice work :-)
