run forever

running is life,
it helps me stay sane
(and all the other banal things
people say about going for a jog),
but one thing i do love about it
is the peace that comes from
knowing i will never be stalked
along a tree shaded path until,
fighting for my life,
i am gunned down
by my neighbors.
