Manhattan Temple

I ran down block after block
with stare after stare
in heels
and even got stopped by police
to have my bag randomly searched.
probably because i looked like a maniac.
which is why
I'm pretty sure they were disappointed when all they found
was a temple recommend and strawberry chapstick.
But I finally made it before they closed
it was so good to see Rebbie there waiting for me
and I heard what I haven't heard in weeks:
nothing.
quietness.
and it was so worth the run.
