Just Once

Turns as quickly to twice
As one into two

With self-awareness
I avoid booze as it is the path
Of temptation

My lungs thank me as I turn minutes into miles

And my breath into a rhythmic stroke as I count laps

I hear beats breaking up the street and I'd like to go, dance, lose myself against the sound, inhale the smell of hot bodies, remember the feel of flesh.

I wait for the bus and I am hungry.
