EPIC GLORY

There is no time

for the mind

to whisper in silence

crouched

in anticipation

for flight

and to do

what no man

has done before

in a moment of history

epic glory in a heart-beat

and with no time

for cyber space

or the flock

in imitation

in the other lanes

or the ambiance of Berlin

ears sharper than razor's edge

engulfed the sound

of the starter-gun

faster than lightning

magnetizing his mind

with no time to look behind

feet in flight

measured 200 meters

with requited bolt

at 19.19 seconds Seiko style

bursting the track

with enamored delight

bolt like lightning

raging with spectacular glory.
