and so we run
chasing
with arms
reaching
pulling
flailing
grabbing
pushing
stretching
blind to what's
already
in front of us

whatever you feel first
(they say)
grab it
keep it
hold it
cherish it
don't let it go
don't let anyone take it

and so we run
and fight
and beat
and curse
and torture
and scream
to claim what we believe is
ours

who is they exactly?
we will never know
but we decided to listen to them
and so we run
and so we run
will we stop?
and so we run
and so we run
will you stop?
and so we run
and so we run
will I stop?
and so we run
and so we run
but eventually we get tired
no one knows it yet, but we will get tired
and what happens after that?
-we run-
