Questions About This Episode

What is The Running Jump about?

How do you spend recess if you don't want to play kickball? There are exactly two nylon sacks. Balls in the right sack. And jump ropes in the left. This is a choice that has already been made for Kabir. Poor Kabir. Jump though he may, he gets "roped" back into the kickball game. Does he overreact? You decide. A bit of fiction for the new year, set to Prashanti by Ravi Shankar. I originally wrote this piece for a reading event in DC last month organized by the peerless Regie Cabico.
