At 6 am I was already the happiest runner in the world, with four miles behind me, four to go
the air was cool, the streets empty around Beauchamp Point
and I came up the hill, out of the woods, and this song shuffled into my headphones
(you can click play)*
(you can click play)*
as this scene came into view
and there was no one in sight
so I danced like a fool in the middle of the road in the middle of that second fairway
I danced like David Byrne
I danced like a child at a wedding
I danced like it was my dancing that powered the sunrise and pushed that sailboat on the horizon
I danced and danced and danced and danced and then I
caught my breath, took a photo, took a drink, and ran on
