UTRUNNING MONSTERS

unning in the early evening hen it is not quite day ind not quite night. My Adidas sneakers beat ny heart on the pavement—thump thump thump Quickening with every minute spent in desired torture: Jello Legs and Sweaty Neck protest with Greedy Lungs, craving more air than what is allowed.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

let go of all thoughts. [he breeze on my face a welcome invitation s | force this meeting with air. All day’s worries lown away, eparating mind from body. jlancing behind and ahead choose body and break

forward.

Artie is my little newt

He is very, very cute

He’s all black

with a bright orange tummy He thinks bottom feeder tablets are yummy.

He doesn’t do much

Except sit in his tree

and do nothing at all

but that’s ok with me.

I love my newt!!
