stealth in starlight

Shall I open the window?
A swarm of thoughts
I am going to start my running soon
Friday and Saturday evenings and dawns
Are the most challenging for night runners
drunks and pseudo-happy idiots are everywhere
down on Wilmslow Road to Fog Lane
sliding in the lovely murk
I look like a Cyclops with the head torch 
breaths are slow roars
2 AM 
Uber cabs are continuously buzzing
they make a profit
from delivering drunks to their shed
I slow down
someone is vomiting at the bus stop
there are others
a small group
they are yelling like a group of apes
obstacle from idiots, I am crossing the road
they are throwing after me a can of beer 
you will leave them
they are laughing
I try to avoid puddles of sick
running to Stockport on the A5145
around 3:35 AM, everything will be gradually peaceful
people will vanish from the streets
this is the best part of the day
there aren't humans
less noise, less waste, less aggression
reduced bad things
I can talk with foxes and badgers
I smile and have a chat with the trees
Running very quietly and a bit more slowly
back from Stockport
carry on my way to the bank of Mersey
to East Didsbury
there are frogs and snails on the footpath
couple of earthworms
animals are my only buddies
I wish they survived
if humans would destroy their civilization
I am delightful
my steps are getting quicker
doing short intervals and smiling
I look like an invisible shadow in the darkness
I am happy, And 
my only hope  is that I won't meet humans
until I get home.
