RUNNING

I return with an 

empty tank

eat cabbage

in a camping bowl

in the dark

a pickle from the jar

a christmas lollipop

disgusting

I bought running shoes

they are orange and grey 

they absorb the mud 

and wind 

and rain

I am counting

seconds, minutes

halves and wholes

this is the addition

of movement 

and distraction

release me out 

onto the Y pier

calling out to traffic

exorcism plea
