Ouch

The runner gasps
as one foot clips a stone -- yet
jogging good for these
older bones--
heart on high alert
somehow able to stand
the strain of exertion
breathing into the wind.
Slap slapping on the sidewalk
sneakers bought at Jones’
footware – medium priced
helping his feet maintain
a snappy momentum
then around a bend
short-cut through the park
hits a bench
and flung onto the grass
leg hurts
pain needs rest -- ah rest.
