I wanna write about you
There’s something about the way that you
Stand
The way you move both a hand
The feet and toes in you
The mannerisms boy blue
Your ballet pose
Now I haven’t run for about a month
So for me, ten minutes
Would be something
But for you
It’s like running across
A small ocean
Ultra marathons
And 50 kilometres
The stamina it takes
To do that
The mental focus
It seriously impresses me
I’m trying to remember
If I remember you
Were you part of that
Kiswahili tribe
Have I known you before?
I’m not sure
You’re like a supernatural
Comic book hero
Hollywood will know the
One
Not sure if it was Heaman
But you’re something
I can’t quite put my finger
On it
Pretty sure they’ll know
It’s written in your blood
I can see it in my visions
Was tryna work it out
A while back
From a sporty family
Like me
Although I’ve paid you
In the past
I get the impression
You do care
And that means a lot
To someone like me
Now how does it feel
When you’re running
I always ask the Olympians
When they’re training
What they’re running for
I run for rain where
There is drought
Some run for gold
Some run for their country
Some run for blood
Some run for freedom
I felt like you run
For love
I could be wrong
It’s a brilliant
Focus
When you channel
Your energy into
Something positive
Like exercise
This isn’t really a poem
Sometimes I just feel
Like watching your brother
Play tennis
With the ball going back
And forth
It’s hypnotic
And boy he’s good
What a champion
I reckon he’d thrash me
But I would have beaten him
At twelve and fifteen
When I peaked
If I trained hard
I might get a game
But that’s about it
Did you like Challengers?
Good channelling
Aware of the scripts
Now the trouble is
It’s the way he sees me
It really pisses me off
Sometimes I feel the way
Somebody interprets you
Can be really warped
It pisses him off
That I do this
But equally
Who gives a fuck
It’s just ‘a bunch of words’
Like a bunch of songs
What really matters
When you get to your
Death bed
Most people say they
Wished they’d seen people
More and had more sex
I think he’s forgotten
Or doesn’t even know
Who I am?
We used to get on well
But it’s mired the situation
Unnecessarily so
When what’s so easy for me
Is difficult for them
My God did I send endless
Bloody boring sometimes
Insane messages
But did I want to send one?
No!
Didn’t I wanna meet up
And have a chat
And sort it out
And crack on with it
Bring my ideas to the table
Yes
Can I put feelings aside
Too damn easily
Can others?
I wish they could
Glastonbury 2025
Could have looked
Pretty different
The band would be back
Together by now
I’m sure of it
Those are my skills
I wish people would appreciate
Our different skills
Bring them to the table
And watch the money
Flow in
Like leaves in autumn
Do I care if someone doesn’t
Feel anything for me?
No, I find that incredibly
Comfortable
Is it cos I is posh?
I can hear the gang actors
Acting
How does it make you feel
If I speak in your accent
Because when Liam and Noel
Take the piss out of toffs
It really cracks me up
This is prose
I think I have an ugly nose
Not really bothered
Whether I’m ugly or attractive
Because it’s all art to me
Do you know buddy
I wish he could find it in him
I think it would make his
Life so much easier
It would make me happier
Too
Get people rid of the hang ups
And issues
Pass the tissues
And refrain from any judgement
In the end
We’re all people
We feel
The love is always there
I just wish he would take
Both roads
And make his wildest dreams
Come true
But stop making it
So bloody difficult for himself
I have so many ideas
For his birthdays
They would blow your mind
His friends would love them
But I’m gonna keep them
A secret
Until he finds it in him
Keep running boyo
I’ll look after your knee
Got that Kenyan runner
Running through you 😉
(Stream of consciousness, it often is 😁)
