A start —
A beginning —
Out of the gate, down the stretch, around the turn, and heading for the wire.
In a heartbeat it’s over;
The race is won, and the thin-legged racers dance back to their barns.
But this is the moment of commencement, when the challengers surge forward, muscles fresh.
Anything can happen.
Any horse can win.
Any horse coming
Out of the Gate.
