last night
i came home late
to my mother yelling
i tried to reason
to no avail
she didn't believe any of my words
her hand on my arm
her voice high and loud
she tried to push me inside
she wouldn't listen
tired and angry
i walked away
she followed
then i ran
and ran
and ran
and ran
till i could no longer hear the flopping
of her shoes
behind me.
i had to return later
but the feeling of that run
of disobeying
of my heart beating fast
of my small lasted freedom
is still in my mind
causing me
to want to run once more
and never stop
till i'm so far away
even her in her sliver car
can't find me
i want to run
and run
and run
and run
and i don't wanna ever stop
