dorando pietri

...

...
dorando pietri
the italian marathon runner in the 1908 olympics
london
who was so knackered he kept falling over
like so knackered he's staggering all over the place
beyond exhaustion
so some stupid officials helped him over the line
...
and he got disqualified
...
well i was that marathon runner
sans disqual
and now i'm home
...
final show was beautiful
killer
a dream
