I never ran in Boston
I never ran in Boston
although a distant cousin
second or third - once removed
placed well in the 70’s.
But then his times
were more than a hour
faster than mine,
I never qualified
and wouldn’t have had
the money anyway.
Yet news of the explosions
struck me to the core,
makes no more sense
than flying airplanes
into buildings.
No place is safe anymore
and an eight year old child
lies among the dead.
While in a hospital nearby
a dear friend lies still,
a para - almost quadriplegic,
because her 1000 kilo behemoth
was impacted by another.
Not her fault,
but compensation never
reverses bodily harm.
I wish I could use
those media savvy phrases
that “I share their pain”
when in fact their pain
is beyond my imagining,
because I can put down
my thought experiment
and the long run that follows
soothes only the dogs and me.
So I’m left with
“I am so sorry”
and the feeling
that my ramble’s
going nowhere
because there’s
nowhere to go.

I apologize if this is a double post
