Homage to my Legs

May 12, 2015
By Anonymous

these legs are fast legs.
these legs need no rest
for they are tireless legs.
when that gun goes off
they know how to rush,
as a hungry cheetah does
when it spots its prey.
these legs are victorious.
these legs do need ice,                   
after each run.
these legs are curvaceous.
I have known these legs
to outrun even Steve Pre.

I'm a runner. I simply hope other runners may read this, connect and relate to it. This ode is also in the style of Lucille Clifton odes.
