Races
We’re all running races
You and I
Running to someplace
Some fragile place
Running
Bodies bruised
Eyes shut
Like the day we were born
We were born to run away
To run fast
To run races
Hurling forwards
For the unknown
Unknowable broken world
We run to it
We run from it
We race it
Bruised bodies
Running
For nothing
Because
We’re always outrun.
