chasing the sunlight: outrunning the shadow?

I was lying in the sunlight as it streamed in from the foyer window. It was warmer than other places in my house. But the shadows kept coming; was the light moving? I tried to write as the shadow raced down the page. Outrun it. Outrun it.

But I can't, I can't, I CAN'T!

Duh. No one can. Well... just One.

Not outrun. Overcome.

Come on. I need you to come over to my house. Help me throw all the doors and windows open. I know it's cold outside, but we've gotta do it anyway. We've gotta get so much light in here that the shadows hide. Come on. Hurry!
