Vicious Circles of Free Verse
Once upon a blue moon
I worked in public school
and it was scary.
So are great horror films.
I once felt that I was in one.
I got out, alive.
I told a previous running coach
whom I don't care to
filter truth from:
stop running in vicious circles,
and make running fun again.
Listen to 'Baker Street'
by Gerry Rafferty.
Watch the last scene
and the ocean scene
from 'McFarland'
the movie.
Cry a little
and run a lot
and live
when living is alive
and you mean something
(if only to yourself).
