Vic Musgrove Perpetuated 5K
by Mick Ward (Oswestry)
There are thoughts at an event, during it, and after.
Also there are things you see, things you think you see,
things you expect to see. They are often the same. Then
there are things you thought you saw, things you didn't
see, things you might never see.
But what about your thoughts ? Thoughts that people
might be thinking about themselves, and about your self,
if they even notice you. How can we ever know ? This is
why we have to say I love you often enough to retain our
marriages etc (I guess ! : imperfect track record.)
We'll leave out other senses: smell : odd whiff of perfume
(or BO!); taste : when gasping orifice meets flitting
fruitfly;
hearing , perhaps the odd snatch of sound or phrase,
especially from that couple in tights who are training idly
(at your racing speed) and chat about last Sundays epic;
touching, ( or things you'd like to!)You're only only as
old as the woman you feel, Groucho said.
Then there are things perhaps, things you did not quite
phrase, like, Ooh, I'm going well tonight, with or without
but will it last? more...
