A runner: Quality or quantity?
Possible

4/23/04

Does it really matter
If you fall across that line?
One perfect form a bit later
Not worried 'bout the time.

Is there really a difference
Between 7 minutes and 10?
If you take another chance
To feel like shit again.

How is the journey important
When time is what counts?
Despite trying what you can't
Yields very small amounts.

Can there be some honor
With 10 instead of 8?
In that I cannot try her
I'll always come in late.

Surely the fight is something
To come across that line
Though I have no grace wings
To make my journey fine.

It must be really easy
For a student to study hard
It surely must be pleasing
For a dealer to sell a car

It must be worth little sum
For a penguin a meter to fly
Although it can't be done
It sure as hell can try.
