Do Words Have Legs?

Anthony and I free-wrote on the prompt:  do words have legs?  And Anthony's free-write was this lovely poem that he performs in the video.

My words have legs
And I dance on top of them
Sometimes, wind chimes
I sit and giggle at how they move me
And when I feel loose and juicy
They help me out of a jam
One time they got me into a jam
So I said I would never abuse them again
But I lied - or failed
I'm not sure
But a war wages inside of me
Providing me
With casualties
Just like sticks
I find these legs can often break
No mistake
They can be fragile
And they can bend
