![]() Street RunningA Poem by Anonymous 79![]() The speaker is my running buddy, and I am the "She" being spoken of. I'm playing around with perspectives for another project, I needed reference material.![]()
This street is dangerous, they said
They're right, and I don't know why
She decided running by a major street
Was ever a good idea
Now the cacophony of passing cars
And crunch of broken glass
On the road beneath her feet
Rings through my ears
She keeps running even though
She's terrified of the passing death traps
She can't help being addicted
To the pound of her feet on the pavement
The rush of wind and adrenaline
I lag behind but she streaks ahead,
Forgetting that I can't run a far or fast
But I hope her thrill of running lasts
This street is dangerous, they said
They're right, and I can't run it with her every day
