Too much ricochet makes a bow go all a-fray [2:27]

loosely improvised around predetermined structures

lyrics

the direction ahead was clear, the destination irrelevant. the rhythmic pulse of his feet hitting the ground was all that was needed.
his footsteps fell with a determined pattern, as if he could make a difference. but he knew he was already too late. the death was unavoidable, the notification sent instantaneously. pointless. his excursion was not of any benefit to the remnants of society.
necessary. he wasn't running to aid, he wasn't running away from his depression. he needed to run until he could no longer.
faint outlines of the broken city were barely visible through the heat mirage. those who still lived there never had reason to step into the parched land.
ahead, a shape. almost indistinguishable from the rest of the blur of the horizon. a human shape, faded by distance, dust, and exhaustion. he did not want to interact.
change direction. turn. misstep. fall. collapse. no more running.
the shape grew clearer. she came closer, stepping right next to where he lay.
