running away
strengthens my legs.
and so does planting
my feet firmly on the ground
after a fresh lie—
trade the volleyball practice
for physics textbooks
and i grow exponentially
happier.
grow exponentially freer,
i guess somewhere along the line
i decided
i preferred calculations
To spiking *****
is all
really, i guess the court
instilled in me a queer
fear, that of
bears clawing shut a cage,
i prisoner, appeaser,
so I played.
but the longer I stayed
The more i prayed,
prayers of numbers,
velocities, angles,
and realized that
maybe the running
was more a way to measure
my footsteps
than to play less
a game.

Trying to write more honest. If the topics are shallow, it's because my life is pretty sheltered. Haha. Volleyball practice and Physics books, how radical.
