In the news today

In the news today:
People turned off their TV’s
and were seen walking down the street
feeling love in their hearts
and smiling.
And the love radiated outward to others
who then felt this love and turned their TV’s off.
But they didn’t see the news report
about the people walking down the street feeling love in their hearts.
But it didn’t matter
because they were experiencing
and not just hearing about it.

Running

Running, running, running
Passing by people
Hearing pieces of conversations

“I used to wear heels like that”
“That’s how they do it, I guess”
No money, damn it! You're an anti-intellectual!
How much did you pay for that dress?

Running, running, running
Past people,
Along streets,
Too fast.

Cursing, gasping, spitting
Why am I always late?
Old man time is an asshole!

Gasping, huffing, spitting
I can’t, I hurt, it’s too much
Damn it

Gasping, aching panting,
Slowing, slowing, slowing
Stopping

Walk it off
