With thanks to Naoto, Yuji and Hirokazu
On 2020 October 5th by montyIn my first few steps
The acceleration is like an irresistible tugging
Like being pulled forward by a current
It feels slow at first
Until I realise how far I’ve gone
Until I realise I am now running faster than a fighter jet
The green streaking in patterns of dark and light beneath my shoes
The hills jagged and looming but disappearing as they race the clouds in the sky
The flowers and trees dancing and waving like fans in the bleachers
The ground rises and falls
It loops and starts and stops and spins in an impossible mobius strip
Now and then I make contact with metal
But I explode past
I cheer at the rabbits, piglets, squirrels, seals, penguins, and chickens that I leave behind
They won’t keep up
They can’t keep up
I swing from posts and bounce from screen to screen
I am always
Going
For
Gold
I’m not racing
I’m not just running though
I am speeding ahead to save the world
To save my friends
To fight the good fight
It may be a bright blue sky day
But I will storm through the night
Through yards and scrap
Beyond marble and stars
I only have myself
But I know that my fight will inspire others
My plight will lead to tales
I will inspire generations
I must prevail
I know what is ahead of me
I know how far I need to run
Run
Run
Run
I have got to go fast
Got to go fast
Got to go
Fast
Hey
That has a nice ring to it
