    There is no promise like the present
    though the present’s not promise at all.
    The grifter flashes a glimmer like it was
    a sure thing. Clinging to these turns
    blindsides what’s before the eye, a fist
    behind dice. I want distraction even
    more than you, but both of us lost
    the duel when our seconds went missing.

    Tresspasser. A high stone wall. I continue to obsessively study ‘improving your hurdle technique’ online, the red curve of the track guiding from the right to the left of the image as drills, minidisciplines, are suggested. Over and over. I was young when I heard recounted to me the terror and excitement of being chased of farmland, thinking there was a gun, scaling over to escape with superhuman force. Even then, I wanted to be a part of the chase.
