Running and Laughing

I was running

Because

I was happy.

Because

For me

Happiness

Is an emotion

Directly tied

To movement.

Yet as I ran

You shouted

From behind

"You won't get there any faster"

"It'll be locked"

And when

You got there

And I was waiting

You laughed

A vindictive

Chuckle.

Don't you understand at all?
