I took up running.
I have always want to become a runner...
I took up running just when staying still was more exhausting.
Just in time...
Before staying still meant having to untangle too many knots.
It was a time when the rug couldnt take any more pushing under.
It was a time when the demons were too many to avoid, too fast to out run, they were everywhere.
I took up running...
At speed,
To keep up with a life that is a whirlpool.
To keep up with the pace of everything else, everyone else.
What use is it to stay back, if everything is running?
What sense does it make, if everyone is running?
What use is it to stay behind?
If you can just...
Run
No time to feel anything at depth.
No time to appreciate anything fully.
No time to degustate or savor.
Only time to swallow.
Run to work.
Run errands.
Run home.
Run to run.
Everything run.
Screen to screen.
Room to room.
Task to task.
Weekend to weekend.
Coffee to anxiolytics.
Run run run.
No time to be bored.
No time to have vice.
No time to feel need.
Everyone is running
Everything is running.
So I took up running.
