NB In my view the end of poem is ironic.

The high speed walker/sprinter at the start loses their traction

and become as slow as rush hour cars

 

Rush Hour

Mine  is a wild  spring step,
shoe heels dash leaf strewn path,
I spy wrinkled driver’s,
rueful rush hour grim mien,
from sleek chrome  cars  crawl as,
my drained feet  moult traction!

And congrats to you too. I think you made a change with a new pistol? I know I saw this poem before!

Thanks for that, Andrea. Just for clarity’s sake my contest entry was a separate improved version of an earlier work you kindly read. Howard
