Athletics Spikes
By Laurence Del Re D R
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
