Puffed

like i've said

many times

so many times before

i’m walking

just walking

i’m not a jogger

i’m not a runner

in don’t own any Nike’s

or any flappy plastic shorts

not counting lap times on a Garmin

one step

then another

a few more?

we'll see

purely driven

by necessity

not stretching my calves

leaning on a tree

not spot popping

at the lights

waiting for a green

not checking my pulse

i'm not that keen

another step

just one more

maybe not

we’ll see

reluctant feet

dragged by

recalcitrant legs

defo no running

on this pair of pegs

i’m walking

just walking

not far

not for long

but

i

am

going

that

way
