Give me a few minutes of silence
A few to soak the skin tightening heat
Deep into my blood
Just a few minutes
Without the man made distraction

Give me empty roads
Eyes heavy
Deep bone fatigue

A few minutes to connect
To a world lost in the indoor comfort
In the indulgent cold of the AC

Just a few seconds
To feel the sear
And revel in the pain
The joy and exultation
Of a body realizing
It is alive
