A girl watches from her window the people passing by on the street below. She desperately wants to join them. She sees a man walking his dog. She sees a boy running with his headphones in. Oh how she loves to run. The beating of your heart. Running is calming. Running is shooting through the streets just for the thrill. Feeling the wind kiss your face. Never looking back at holes your feet pounded into the earth behind you. She remembers running. She wishes she could fly, away from the chaos below. Sometimes she feels like she's pummeling through existence, humanity overachieves her, and her thoughts turn into nothings.
Wow. I especially like the line "Never looking back at holes your feet pounded in behind you."
ReplyDeleteDid you write that Lalo or is that a quote you read somewhere? It makes me feel like you have gotten into running. A good lifelong sport.
