Light & Legs

11/22/11

The football team is practicing and so the lights are on. A little haven of brightness, in the deep dark nights, that comes so early in the evening as December approaches. A haven offering refuge to hungry legs ready to eat up what the beaming lights shines down on, and that which to many of the practicing pigskin players probably simply forgot. Something they take for granted, like the bleachers or the hills, just background and in this case it was plainly the perimeter of the turf field. But that precious perimeter is 400 meters of grit, guts and love for those like us. A place to bend thoughts into hard fact via watches and with the concrete knowledge of time over distance come the breaking wind of where you will be in the future. Tonight legs are on the chase, the chase for dreams.
