the first time I ran,
mother says,
was because I didn't
want to be held on to,
so I broke all grasps
and fled as children
do and not remember
afterwards,
why
the last time I ran
was yesterday,
cajoling myself
to alarm beeps,
like a break in habit,
slow, tired and then
in rhythm, but not like
a first time, or a last,
tedium
did joy
pass by?
the running gods
didn't reply.
