If Third Place Passes Second Place What Place Are They In

Each one determined not to finish first Taking each step leading to the end But all finish the race No winners all losers No spectators no ribbons no medals adourned Breathless athletes, spurned to the line That final wisp of humanity and the last pulse of life See you at the finishing line
