Running!

Stop to kick over the chairs, and then you’re running! Running! Running!

If only a magnet would be powerful enough enough to hold this heart, this beating heart, against your refrigerator. But it won’t! The heart is too thick and the magnet too weak! Damn the magnet but save the heart! Running! Running! Running!

If you get into the right part of town it won’t matter that you’re carrying a heart nor that you have a trail of red chasing after you! Running! Running! Running!

The people back there, they didn’t understand. They screamed and cried. You tucked the heart in your arm like a football and they gasped. They thought their hatchets would stop you, but did they? No! they didn’t! Running! Running! Running!

The heart beats with your heart now. They are finally one. They know each other, they feel one another’s fears, feel their thoughts, FEEL them. Hear the beating like drums, the throbbing in your rib cage, the throbbing on the outside of your rib cage. This can be done! You can fulfill your dream! Running! Running! Running!

This desert called earth is no longer a concern, the only concern now are these two beings, intertwined and made as one, melting together like a flooding water, building troops as it moves, growing bigger and larger and more unwieldy! More loving! More hating! All is perfect! Enough heart for a village, for a town, for a city! Growing! Beating! Groping! Living! Gaining strength! Filling filling and filling with blood, both hearts, filling with life, LIFE! BOTH HEARTS GROWING! Running! Running! Ru
