An Ode To We

You ran across the Earth,
Unknowingly,
Coming back to where you’ve
Started.

Was it worth the lot?
“Yes,” you say.
Even if it wasn’t,
I can only guess as much.

My turn.

Everybody’s running.
I thought you wouldn’t.
But you did. Who am I to kid?
And I joined in just the same.

Now.
We came to where we’ve started.
None the wiser,
All the older.

Yet the demons,
We picked them up along the way.
They've decided not to leave.
Never will.

So we continue to run..
Just the same.
