"Walk Don't Run
by William Trowbridge
to a Japanese Soldier Burned Alive in Saipan
Maybe you'd heard it, too, back in school; that feeble bromide for when the bulldog charges of the bully strides behind you, stepping on your heels. Walk briskly and they'll break off, acquiesce, think they mistook you for someone else; or maybe they'll just lose track as you blend in with the world's supply of walkers like Dr. Richard Kimball, The Fugitive, who stayed on the run by walking soft, of Peter, hoping nature wouldn't recognize the breach as he wobbled across the waves to Jesus. Or the hobblers and the weavers on their morning laps inside the mall, trying to keep a step on what's begun to shadow them. maybe that's what you were doing when, ablaze, you took those four unearthly steps past the foe outside your smoldering bunker, then crumbled to your. knees and dropped face down, blending in, beyond recognition."Type of Print
