Poem:
I can’t remember the day I started
or the first time my lungs started screaming
I don’t remember my first blister
or the pressure my palms placed on my knees,
hunched over, demanding more air.
I bounded, shuffled,
sprinted, jogged,
chased, fled, hammered,
and even wept, when the string down the side of my leg
stopped cooperating.
My body became a negotiator,
making deals with the concrete,
and asking for loans,
a debt of heartbeats.I paid tax on carbon,
and became friends with sugar,
all with a blind faith,
because I don’t remember how I started,
I don’t know where I’m going,
and i don’t even fucking know,
who taught me how to run?Anybody?
