The Chase

By Ana Marija Meshkova

She skips
 She runs
  You chase
   You think you'll never catch up
    She stops
     and as you think you'll catch her
      she ducks
       and runs away again
        You huff
         and despair
          But we all know
           if she stayed
            and explained
             you'd never try to catch her
              in the first place
