The Guy in Gray
warmer than
it was
yesterday
the sidewalks converge
walkers
strollers
pets
bikers
joggers
and the guy in gray
looks new
his eyes downcast
he’s jogging
and it’s hard when you’re heavy
especially uphill
before 8 a.m.
but what he doesn’t know
is the effect
people watch people
in a split second
the mind sees
motivation
motivation in action
and files it
for later
