He jogs feintingly

crossing his right hard,
surpassing the park walkers

whose eyes he dodges:

his head bobs a blur
inside the hood’s dark,
hands fluttering high

masking non-stoppingly,
battling spirits in air,
part defeated, part actor,

dancing what we must know is
shaking his heart at the world,
muscling his song.
