Ladies and Gentlemen, please place your bets
at the finish there should be no regrets
some bet to win and some gamble for fun
many are often outpaced by the one
though some race to win, some need to just run
its time to run at the sound of the gun
unbridled and rider less I out bound
Muybridge proved that all four legs leave the ground
my muscles are pumping beneath my skin
I'm lifting up and I'm jumping the fence
my mouth frothing, I break into a sweat
I'm barely clearing the top of your head
I hear your voice whispering like a gun
my skin shivering, I know I must run.

running is one thing, forgetting another
