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
