An Adjustment

An Adjustment

man, I loved

running

could go for miles

and miles

that feeling

how it felt like flying

I miss it bad

especially, in the springtime

driving along

watching runners run

and this morning

the urge was so strong

maybe it was the wind

had to hold myself back

and keep on walking

when all I wanted was

take off

and it woulda been wonderful

felt like a million

but by this time tomorrow

I’d be hurting

limping around

not able to walk

yeah, walking ain’t running

not even close

but it’s something

and sometimes

something’s better than nothing

still

I almost, almost took off

this morning

looking down at my feet

I felt ‘em lift

the sparks inside

crackling
