Rhythmic Run
Stefani Boutelier
ready, set, run
earbuds, forte in my ear
legs in adagio
Ain’t Nothin But a Gangsta Party
beats shuffle my arms forward
shoulders pop with caprice to a
Bidi Bidi, Zoom, or Waka
andante sways my core into cadence
Won’t Back Down
humidity pulling my hydration out
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
the rhythm near my drums
builds a tempo in my stride
Blinding Lights
on the Otherside
an ensemble of emotions and goals
sweat with every roll of the heel
the longer I pace with the lyrics
the deeper my thoughts pitch away
from the mad, Mad World
escapism through a runner’s high
even when my feet feel like
Titanium
…I Run the World
