Whisper



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.
