Things I tell myself. [day 22]

Take only edge of the seat and wear
light shoes, because some days

running is the only way
you’ll get anywhere.

Don’t try foolish things,
like catching rain in plastic bags

because stuff like rain
was never meant to be caught.

And always always, resist
slowing as the wall draws near—

the key is to hit it full throttle
and make sure your head

leaves an imprint on the stones.
