the second before the subway door opens
where your bag is in place and you are ready to run
out
to start the race
and you rush up the stairs
with a montage in your mind
and the victory in your blood
but how can you win at life
i think everyone has lost
haven't we
i think everyone has tried
we all deserve honorable mentions
we all deserve bronze medals
we all deserve honorable mentions
we all deserve bronze medals
as we sprint down the sidewalks towards our homes
