Desolation

are there really angels dancing on the peaks? can you carry your own weight? what journey starts with a single step? is someone alone if there are others on the same trail? why are there differences between tourists?

Running

with scissors
with the devil
with the wind at your back
with a finger up your ass
off at the mouth
off with the milkman
on empty
on and on
on auxiliary power
out
out of time
out on the family
an errand
a racket
a race
for fun
for the hell of it
for the health of it
for president
for public office
for your life
for the finish line
