Maybe I should start running again.

Maybe I should take to my heels
and pretend I'm not damaging my knees
and that I can outrun this stress
this sense of fear and anxiety.

Maybe it's just because I'm young.
Maybe it's just because
everything is changing,
the world turning upside down.

Some things stay the same.
My heart beats inside my chest.
The sun warms my skin.
I will keep those close
even as place and time
move about me.
