There’s this thing I do
It’s like a drug—
dopamine tends to flood
my brain and then
my body goes
for miles more
down the road
through the trails
between the trees
it’s typically
my legs and me
running as fast
as I can go
(which often is
somewhat slow)
the finish line
never really comes —
and so I’ll rise again
for another run.
