Excitement, joy, eustress
John Wall
Stare, scratch, sinking teeth
No hands
Flex, step, holding your breath
You against me
Buzzer beaters
Broke red clock
Scrapes and marks deep to the bone
Carrot shoes
Trailer park
Calling 911 now
Dietary habits show
Impaled
Stamina, endurance
Fire up that loud
Chuckling, crying
Sticky hands
Full of angst and coated in rust
Where is your talent
Spaghetti
Floor burns above flesh
The color of burnt lavender
Intricate pills
Texture the leather
Sweat
Elbows
Pelting, frustration
Soiled mesh laundry
Crippling anxiety
Felt to the toes
This space is larger than you thought
Sprint from it
To the solid black line and back
Infinite times
And so it begins.
