the Jogger and the Drunkard

as i drive out to the beach
this first day of January
i see a drunkard  - dazed - falling in and out of gravity
and a moment later as i pull into the main road
a jogger -  so upright, so rhythmic, so energised
running into the new year
oh Jogger and Drunkard
you sum up the two moods in
the world today
who of the two would i choose to be?

neither

i do not desire the forgetful stupor of the drunkard
i do not desire the dogged willpower of the jogger

suspend me between the two realities
