Reprieve from the heat.
Most will be disappointed
Except for the runners.
Sunday running groups
Take up so much space.
They're like a mob! Don't make eye contact.
Hit by bird shit! Never good.
Sign of good luck? I don't buy it.
Nearest washroom
Wipe, wipe, wipe.
One marina, two marina, three marina, four.
Boats in the harbour
Bob.
Kitsilano. Always crowded.
Beach volleyball tournament
So many people.
Blood pressure rising.
Looming shapes, tankers in the distance.
Eerie, like sentinels
Watching over the beaches.
Blue herons, pond lilies, ducks with green heads.
No camera.
One might think
I'd know better by now.
Gel flask on the ground.
Kind of muddy
Nowhere to wipe
(see: "Hit by bird shit!").
Helping non-locals find
Nearby washrooms.
"One is right over there!"
Runners always know.
Kits Beach pool. Bright blue against the grey sky.
Swimmers doing laps.
Back and forth, back and forth,
Back and forth.
Is that man naked? Wearing nothing but a towel.
Couldn't be
And there go the swim trunks (or is that underwear?).
O.M.G.
Boom! Boom! Thunder overhead.
Well ... that's new.
Wind cooling. Bad weather imminent?
Maybe I'll run faster.
Thinking about running poetry
Giggling like a nutter.
Long run Sunday
It's good to be back.
