MARATHON
To Amy, My M.E. Friend in California
Some people are very insistent
That a marathon’s
26 miles.
It isn’t, it
really isn’t….
A marathon is daily
trials.
For example,
yesterday
I showered AND
washed my hair,
AND moisturised my
body,
Which needed love
and care!
And then? I had to
lie down
On my comfy bed, for
an hour,
Exhausted and annihilated,
Deprived of any power.
Slow, slow, slow
improvement,
And then, of course,
the fight
To run a marathon
again tomorrow….
And not one single
medal in sight!
