how can a bullet turn into a man?flying on the wings of your heelsshouting, "catch me if you can!"piercing the air like a heartthumping off-beat,gripping your chestfrom the insidepushing your lungs apart
does it get dizzyescaping yourself on a track?thinking you've left him behindyou finish backat the starting line
unlike you, my legs can't heal my mindonly when you pull me into your bodyand tell me that it's fine
how can you move so fastand love so slow?how do you shatter time?
hold me before you have to gointo those deeps woods or colosseumwhere they cheer and they prodthey think you're a gladiatorbut you prove yourself a godan incarnate bulletturned into a manbut I can catch itwith my bare hand
