No rain for days, feeling hopeful
Wind at my back, timing my stride
Fallen brethren all around, but eying
     the holy grail
There it lies, perfectly convex
veined and crisp
A slight lateral movement, audibly
    scraping concrete
Anticipation rising, three steps, two
    right foot conducts
And the crinkled chorus ensues
