Two Short Pieces

CANNOT OUTRUN ME

I know why you cannot outrun me
I just run in my track, in my own speed
You see how late or fast others are
And forget your own paces
Belated by your own consciousness
Of others’ capacity to outdo you

You could always be a winner
If you accept the possibility of loss
The victor learns from the causes of failure
The loser revels in the thoughts of victory
..........................

FRIENDSHIP DEFINED

Friendship is tricky
Secrets come out, grudges spill
You think you did right
By easing yourself to your fill

Secrets spread, grudges redirect
You are precarious
Many become companions
Few become friends
