crusade
April 9, 2010
A gun shot rings out
Shot heard ‘round the world
The battle begins
The only weapons are feet
And mind
Few bystanders line the grounds
But it’s just two young men,
Empty track,
A mile to prove
What must be shown
Words only go so far.
Steady breathing,
Hands move
Hip to chin
Hip to chin
Stride after stride
Inhale.
Exhale.
Bend knee
Drive foot forward
Speed up on the turn
Stride
Stride
Stride
Beep, beep.
Battle ends
As fast as it began
Four minutes
Is all it takes
