Running Shoes
February 20, 2014
I've seen people run from an unhealthy state.
I've seen people run to escape
from God knows what.
People probably.
I've seen people run on the field.
Evading not only defenders,
but poverty and obscurity.
Especially the latter,
because the roar of the crowd drowns out
the mere bark of the bank.
I've seen people run away from trouble,
trying to escape themselves,
not wanting to pay for selfish actions.
You could say I've seen a lot of running.
But I only see running away.
I never see
people running
towards each other.
