run don't walk

i find that my legs

are built

more for the city

than

the woods or hills.

hiking

is not my thing.

the dirt trail,

the rocks

and streams to cross.

badgers

and wolves wanting

a bite out

of me.

give me 5th Avenue

any day of the week.

dodging taxis,

and now

that jaywalking

is no longer a crime.

i'm free.
