Isn't everyone running?

.

That moment of inveterate invincibility
Of the feeling you're running full throttle
The wind streaming through your hair
And all you can hear is your heart beating
And all your energy is concentrated
At the rhythm of your heaving lungs
Your breasts aching from the strain of
Leaving behind whatever it was you were running from

You're launching yourself now
Arms outstretched and arching
Like the wings of an eagle
Each an every cell in your toes aching
To take off.
