Runner 93

This is the time when she looked up to say
“This is the time when most people do a runner...”
like she is not most people,
and is not going to do a runner,
except all she's ever wanted to be is
most people, to stop running from whatever it is,
just be most people enough to begin, like most people do,
to fall for the very next kindness she meets
because this one is a good person, and she
just wants to be intimate like most people,
to stop running from falling, and whatever it is,
except falling like most people do
into the arms of someone
who for some reason wants her too,
is also doing a runner, like most people do,
away from being alone.
