Lapse of Life

I'm running,
panting,
looking,
here,
and there,

my feet,
smashing
the soil,
beneath me,

I'll out-run,
it,
whatever,
all of everything,

I step,
and feel,
nothing,
I'm falling.....

Falling across,
it's dawn,
it's dusk,
fast and slow,

Among,
an army,
of headlights,
and horns.

I wake,
I work,
I eat,
I drink,

And the army awaits in the morn.
