son of bay leaf and lexington

running soars through gravity devouring oxygen surviving
a celebrating race of power motion space.
horses master time flying in balance
god herds blossoming into thunder.
shamans pretending to know and ride
gamblers fixating on unknowables
jobbers scrounging the sweat of others
necromancers killing with thyroxinelasixnitrogenpharmaceuticals–
set the gods free

pimlico racetrack
(the maryland jockey club reorganized in 1870, leased pimlico on hayward avenue which had briefly been a site for agricultural fairs, and ran the first preakness in 1873)
