Make a Run for it!

Let’s get real about the mind/body connection through stories and poems. Join me on June 6th at the Brewerton Library.

Make a Run for it 

Darkness thick.
The right foot follows out 
into the warm morning. 
Make a run for it
I say
Before my mind
gets in the way.
I can’t wait for her— 
won’t give her time to catch up.
Her squeaky voice interrupts—
Stay in bed,
It’s too dark out
Run another time.
We’ve had a good run Yet—
I’ve retrained my mind. 

Run first, don’t think
Clothes laid out
Sneakers at the door
Run loop ready
Slip out—
Make a run for it! my body shouts. 
Clouds hide the stars 
Where is the moon?
I look up into the darkness 
There she is
Good morning Moon.
Let’s make a run for it! 
It will be light soon.
