The running man


Liverpool shooting leaves one man dead
The Guardian, 14 June 2012

To commemorate the recent passing
of the Olympic flame
someone chalked on our pavement
the outline of a running man.

Rain has washed the chalk away now,
only his crimson heart remains
and that seems to be running away
if only down the drain.
