Dickinson Poem

"Paradox"
So near, and yet so far
miles and hours of competitions
just to come down to this
the line, the end calls, beckons
and my legs stretch out in answer

the whole world slows
the voices fade
my vision blurs
and for a moment, I lose myself

I am two separate people, mind and body
forgetting my surroundings.
for just a fleeting second, I can truly see
before it is lost
