any addiction, there's a price
to pay
at some point.
i used run
three times a week,
five miles
or more
each day. rain or shine.
snow or ice.
and then
there was basketball,
four nights
a week,
pounding the ball on
black tops
for decades,
on broken concrete.
i left nothing
out there, used up every
chance to play,
but now
slowly i dip my legs
into ice water
each night.
running has become
a distant memory.
