Challenges

I run...
I'm a runner.
I have to keep running after the goal until
there is nothing left but me and the path.
Sometimes I run so fast, so hard, for so long...
that I don't recognize when I'm running alone.
I'm trying to catch you because
the idea that you aren't running after me to attain me...shatters me.
If I slow down
and
turn around
and
I don't see you there
I might die.

I run...
I'm a runner.
When I do meet runners
who run with endurance
running after me
I want to stop running because
equality and reciprocity
scare me.

Isn't it always more fun to hunt than to be hunted? When the hunter finds you, are you ever ready to submit?
