I long have been a trail-runner,
and my name is Art Constantine,
sprinting peaks is a thigh-burner,
just as tiring as it seems,

I hate it when I think of you.
With no consideration of my schedule, or the details of my life.

Dear  Olabosoye Oluwafunmilayo

An oenologist by profession, like her pal Brandy,
