Since it was the only outside
table
I wasn’t bothered by his request
to join me.
He told me he ran marathons for
Kidney cancer,
His brother had been a victim.
Bob had been running marathon’s
for three years.
From South America, to Asia,
Australia and Europe.
Any money raised went to the
cause.
He paid for his travels.
Cynically, I wondered about the
tax benefits,
Why not give the travel money
directly to the cause?
Then I wondered why I was not
inclined
To give the guy a break?
He had two causes.
Should I rank them?
Decide he was less noble?
More ambitious?
What standards do I employ
To shrink his effort?
Jheesh, all he wanted was a
little celebrity
And a look at different worlds.
