Even

In the early morning outside I

 passed the girl on the sidewalk 


Her covered with a face mask

Hunched over like the hunchback Notre Dame


I waltzing by in running shoes 

With holes in the toes

Motivated for a morning walk 

Ready for whatever comes my way 


She was more concerned about preventing 

Illness

And I was more concerned about 

Capturing health 

Chasing it 

Even
