The Tannic Race

Race Runner

Feeling restless today so I went back out again

To make up for my earlier attempts at exercise

I went somewhere else, down by the red water

But I was not the only runner and much to my surprise

I ran in to this guy

His technique was a little different, short spurts of blinding speed

But for the second time today, one stopped so I had to take the lead

And then I ran to the tannic flat, at the end of the Crooked Creek

A short spurt for sure, but it left me with red cheeks

And on my way back out again I chose to follow scrubs

Which took me from the shade of trees into this desert hub

And finally now convinced by sun, I leave to find my car

So thirsty now, my head is pounding and fluid seems so far
