It’s not exactly the best idea –
ambling along while they all run.
Maybe you thought it helped:
resting, assuming you could ski
uphill, floating on momentum.
Never mind the discipline won,
never mind the camaraderie too:
intimacy forged by common fight.
Not for you the questing bonds,
glued to the notion that you?
Better off aloof, hiding the bitter
equations of effort spent on those
hampering your flow… somehow.
It’s not even as though
nobody notices, you lovely
dolt; count the actual thanks and crack on…
Catching up, catching up…!
This result from searching for The Tortoise and the Hare turns up all over Google but I can't find the origin, so can't credit the creator, sadly. Mine came from, of all places, Craft Brews and Running Shoes
