Matching Pace

It's nice when you're

breathe in, breathe out,

step by step in the cold morning grass,

moving quickly.

It's nice to be connected,

it's nice as you're

matching pace with somebody,

timing the same,

stepping one at a time in the same direction,

breathing in a singular line (in, out, in, out, together

our breaths can't be told apart

as they frost the air into clouds).

you and i are matching pace

and it's nice that

this poem isn't about running at all.
