10 Minute Mile

Served best cold, the soup of the day:

Should I go or should I stay?

In between stations, tossing rocks

settle in the seat, or get off next stop?

 

I want the whole cake

big as you can bake

I want the biggest slice of my future

I want a bellyful of something pure.

 

I want the wind, I want the rain

I want to dance, to love again

Should I go or should I stay?

"Everything seems perfect from far away."

 

I weary so fast of the City Games

I'm a Shire-born Took, I long for old names

Life isn't green here, the hues do not play

Colour-blind amidst the shades of grey.

 

When I run, I run in circles

I try to dream, my dreams are purples

I know you try to assuage my alone

I love you my dear, but I want to go home.
