Size Down/Twenties - Christopher Bacalla

I run along the edge of a hill. As I begin the sprint: legs youthful, eyes worn. Elementary athletics on a collegiate quad epitomize the edge of man and child.

Others are researching significant scientific whatevers while I try to turn the past into forever.
