Full yearning for this can
Possess all who run
Caring not about the rain or sun
Being each for the air, a fan
The running run into the running
And I stand my ground
Moving not, the competition blessing me with laughter
And shushing the sound of pain
Indifferent audience watch
Some shrugging
Some appalled that none can touch
Some themselves hugging
I guess all is for the beauty
Of this can
Thinking not of its weight
Neither the possibility of its emptiness
It must be held to be felt
If heavy, I might be dropped
If empty, I’ll be abandoned
So what is the essence of this struggle?
