The runner

(Inspired by today's Writer's Digest prompt to write a mechanical poem. Also wanted to share the following link on revising one's poems. http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/5-ways-to-revise-poems)

The foot strikes the pavement at the mid-point,
rolling over the ball,
kicking up the heel.
The arms hang loosely
but pump lightly to propel the body forward
in a relaxed way.
Breath is brought in and released
entirely through the nostrils.
Chin tucks in,
Tailbone tucks down.
Feet strike but do not slap
the ground below.
