The loneliness of the long-distance runner



To be a long distance runner in a parking lot you must pass back and forth a great many times
And if the lot is not well lit and if the school bus driver is driving fast
You may find yourself in Burke Rehab Center
Knowing you are not in the right direction
Forgetting this room was even here (wondering where they put the basement)
Inviting a slew of people to coffee and dessert,
Figuring the route to the diner as your wife slips quietly out the door.
