Passages Here 3

Fast walking strides
Three-plus kilometers;
Brisk cardiac activity


Toy terrier running
Owner on leash;
Creature comforts pace


Mad motivation
Blind leading blind;
Surging ahead


Crowd mentality
World Cup football;
Temporary insanity


Late night matches --
The world watching twenty-two
Athletic men kicking a ball


Headline news flash
Spectator frenzy;
Home crowd vantage ad 


Struggle here
To sculpt new words;
Feel new rhymes surge


Joy in tired bones
Finish line crossed;
A personal best


All the world's
A stage and we:
Mere players (and spectators!)
