Cacoethes Scribendi

The Getaway And Other Poems

i.

I hear crash of the bay

How I wish that I could stay

But the sound is pulling me away

The sound is pulling me away

ii.

I'm gonna hop a midnight train 

I'm gonna get outta town

I'm gonna hop a midnight train 

hear the whistle sound

I'm gonna hop a midnight train

I'm not gonna stick around

I'm gonna hop a midnight train

I'm gonna get out of town

iii.

Rush Rush Rush

singing in the trees

hurry hurry hurry

whispers in the leaves

fast fast fast

they're coming after me

away away away

I'm floating on the breeze

iv.

I'm hearing all these stories

I'm listening to these words

And I wonder if

I'm just

breaking my own heart
