THE FASTER YOU RUN

“The faster you run, the sooner you’re done…”
For some a prompting, for others a brake.
If traveling is better and getting there worse,
Then time is your taxi, the one that you'll take.

“The brisker your clip, the quicker your trip…”
A toppling awaiteth despite what you think.
Attend to the path, now swift with its bumps,
A challenge to passage for those who would blink.

“The more the medicine, the merrier the mode…”
Like else we've seen, not straight and true.
Too much a good thing a bad thing becomes,
Affecting adversely with dosage askew.
