a skull cleaning

there are some days where everything seems
attenuated
faded
dim
muffled

and unfortunately the opposite days
where i'm focused
keenly aware of my senses
seem to correspond with pretty crappy days

but at least after a long day at work
and some other shit happening
i got to go for a run

and while barreling through the streets of boston
at a grouchy pace
at least i got to have one of those nights when
the music was loud
and spurred me on

a blistering version of orbital's remind
pacing a glorious swerving run down boylston

and even though i was tired and hungry
i just wanted to keep running
