“One’s” ok, but “two’s” illegal come a night whispered, “Run,” Or so the grass spoke – Run like the wind. Run, But always look back. Run, So to liberate all you’ve loved. So too, awaits a home, only dreamt. And she ran, From village to village – Blankets wrought pollen. Carrots, For another’s eyes. Our baby, The outlaw prior even born; Hot on heal, the “department.” And we ran, Hopping continents – I, so to support. Our son, So to survive. My wife in wait, Our second miracle burrowed, Just beyond the world I’d promised, A land, so help me, and shore we’d arrive one day.

“One’s” ok, but “two’s” illegal come a night whispered, “Run,” Or so the grass spoke – Run like the wind. Run, But always look back. Run, So to liberate all you’ve loved. So too, awaits a home, only dreamt. And she ran, From village to village – Blankets wrought pollen. Carrots, For another’s eyes. Our baby, The outlaw prior even born; Hot on heal, the “department.” And we ran, Hopping continents – I, so to support. Our son, So to survive. My wife in wait, Our second miracle burrowed, Just beyond the world I’d promised, A land, so help me, and shore we’d arrive one day.
The Department of Birth Control's hot on our heals. I've gotten my son away from where we were; but two remain and so help me, four will be reunited soon. So yes, that's where I've been and that's what I've been doing.
