AFTER THE RACE [M, 4-15-19]


So this must be the way
it is to be old, this morning
after the race

when my muscles are a map
of warring nations
none of them winning
only engaged in mutual
self-destruction, MAD

with weary mind
and steps so slow

This must be the way
it is to be old, this morning
after the race

But I have not run a race
in a long, long time
