The Long Distance Runner

CATEGORY

One foot in front of the other

The long distance runner consumes the invisible treadmill

The finish line floats in the distance

Chest falling and rising

He sets his lungs on fire

Swallowing air as a drunk swallows Gin

Legs disconnected from body

Legs on auto pilot

The long distance runner has run this race a thousand times

In his one track mind

The runner turns the corner

The wind at his back

Sweat equity falls to the pavement

His pace quickens

One inch closer

One foot closer

One step closer

to the finish line...

(Dedicated to Kip Keino

Kenyan long distance runner)
