Run

 

Running

Running while walking

And smiling

Trying to get there

 But every time you do

 It’s not where you wanted to be

 

Running

Running while

 spreading your soul

 like you just got a

new toy

and letting your eyes

do what you want them to do

 

Running

Running and smiling

Smiling and Running

Squeezing and near- choking

that thing for realness

until you know to just

 smile

 

So they can’t see you

Running

Running so fast

 So long on empty

Almost crashing

Until someone else does

 Instead

 

Feeling like you’ve been caught

 Feeling like you have to change

Change Your suit

A new set of dentures

 but with a cackle

 

And a howl while

running
