some days
i must say
in my haste
i'd like to run away
from where i'm at
to another place
perhaps a wrinkle in
someone else's face
or hide out
inside a crooked smile
anywhere
where i'd not be found
catch an eye
in the middle of a blink
slide round back
and watch them think
after awhile
i would venture out
heading north
to bushy brow
change my looks
and identity
so no one in their right mind
would recognize me
jump onto a tear
wiped close to the ear
whisper subliminal messages
get me out of here
as i make my way
to another place
hiding out
on another face
another town
another frown
just your everyday
runaway
