Chubby limbs clambering for little more
Pulling up to stand on faltering feet
Winning; mastering the rhythm
racing toward the faraway finish
Staring, squinting at the blazing sun
Sweating away at clamouring chores
Clutching on slippery lives
Inching onward; the clock's command
In the distance; the red ribbon
Gazing, awash in the blurry orange
Sepia memories playing
Aching knees at the armchair
Grasping at wisps; sighing at souls
The end at lurching distance
Three part life...
