beach road
When i was young we ran together -- i, the eldest son, was in middle school
and You taught in a seminary -- we were both young but it's a difference of degrees. Beginning of middle school and beginning of middle age in earnest.
On the road near the beach, we ran three miles -- you measured the distance with your car's odometer -- distance we measured with our feet.
We always finished at sunset, and it was beautiful over the ocean
as the sun sank away and we whirled with the beautiful Earth into
nascent darkness and the bats flew
up and over the fields, and it would remain this way until the
dark swallowed you
one bite at a time.

"Who cares? A human cannot satisfy her needs."
"Yeah, we android have more stamina than any human, but...." He trailed off.
"It's the expandable body part thing, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"she'll get tired of that and come running back to you."
"By then, she'll be walking bowlegged."
