MORE ON RUNNERS

more on runners
apparently running
itself
is not bad enough
for some of the bastards
who dwell in my little city
more and more now
I see them running
barefoot
plodding down the sidewalks
the streets and the roads
inviting misery
beckoning in pain
like some long lost exceptional lover
what the fuck is wrong with these people?
what are they thinking?
on the sidewalks
the streets and the roads
there is broken glass
and rusty metal scraps
there is shit and piss and puke
blood and semen and snot
spit and phlegm
for fuck’s sake
for fuck’s sake! I want to yell at them
as they jog through their delirium
put on some goddamn sneakers!
