When at First I Fell
heartbreak by love at first sight
If only I had never
seen you in the first place.
Maybe then I
Could have been spared.
Spared the merciless anguish in Knowing,
The relentless agony in Seeing,
The heartbreak in Believing.
If I hadn't laid eyes
on you in first place
would I have even fell?
An Expression worth another taking,
A Question worth the asking.
Is it even worth Believing?
My mind went straight to racing,
My heart lit itself on fire,
My eyes could not be moved as I
Stood consumed by my desire
As I fell upon the Seeing,
Wrapped up in the Believing,
Blinded by the Knowing.
Could I have then been spared
If I only hadn't dared.

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills. Although basic physics says it must come down again, somehow this route never feels like it gives runners a proper descent.
