so i run.

So they tell me I'm always running 

That I run to other countries. Far ones.

Away. 

In those countries I run too. Far and Away

And they usually don’t have abc.com and Cheetos.

I am okay.

But it is true that the feeling still permeates.

Abroad, I am caught off guard
and embarrassed

It Penetrates.

You know that it crosses borders.
he said. 

Stay focused, they say.

So I run.

And this time 

I’m swimming too.
