Sweat drips off me

I let my arms fall limp to my sides

My breathing is all jacked up with my lungs on overdrive trying to allow oxygen to my heart

I'm slumped over with my head down at my knees

My cutoff is trenched with my sweat and tears

My watch goes off and my break is over

I see the countdown to cross the street

The humidity is insane and the signal to cross turns white

I start to jog again and inhale deeply and continue on my way.
