Athletics Spikes

Both in a box
Sad and lonely

Identical, side by side
Like a crystal mirror

Waiting and waiting
Like a bullet in a gun

Slip them on
Instant power
Lightning fast
You devour

Ready to come out
A beast in its cage
Battering down the track
Charged with rage

Tearing up rubber
Like no other

Denting history
Leaving no mystery

With them, I’m unstoppable
