With apologies to LSPE:

Today it seems that I
Hide among your hut-hut-hikes
Repeating them like an echo
Without the meaning or the feeling.

I am sprinting
Without catching
My breath.

I suck it up, hold it.
Wait for the football of inevitability.
Let it get close to me, fall in my failing hands
Before I run.
