it never tires
running faster and faster
my mind

busy city
the noise doesn’t drown out
the thoughts in my head

computer screen blank 
mind full of thoughts 
computer screen blank

California dreaming
rays of sunshine singing
come to me

top quarter champion

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

dark night
dreaming of blue ocean water
in bed

tons of pressure
ocean blue
yet I float weightless

in the pond
I remind myself to breathe
swimming with her

track practice
only she knows her flushed cheeks
are not from running

TOP half champion

CHAMPION
 

BOTTOM half champion

Lebron running
jumps for the hoop
they boo

ballin’ in the street lights
neighborhood kids
wanting the last shot

last to finish
a full lap behind
personal best

long gym night
improving the body
improving the mind

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

mom works hours
preparing the meal
my diet ruined

fast food
short time
short time

running
only few can do 
so walk

Miles and miles
with no strength to walk
so we fly.
