7 Months

First jog in seven
months. I woke up and said, "NOW!"
Threw on some gear, tunes.

Just half hour, okay?
See if there's still the rhythm.
Oh yes, it's one-two.

The music paced me.
Faster...slower...here's the hill...
and now walk. Relax...

My mind raced during...
at first? Insults: "you're lazy!"
Then a groove: "So good!"

In my mind, "new niece
or nephew"..."feelin' sausage but
I'm running!" and then

"I'm still alone..." and
"This new Keeper is the BOMB!"
Then it was over.

I stretched, dressed and then
went to meet friends for dim sum. A
lovely Saturday.
