red white and blue

the stars and bars,

and the lights on top of police cars.


rapid acceleration of limbs causes quick intake of breath and trouble catching it quickly but at least they are not catching you, no they will not be catching you, not again. not tonight.


it is not easy to sit in the back of a police cruiser.

it is not like the movies, and your hands are cuffed,

behind your back.

and the seat is a plastic bench,

and cops do not drive well,

because they don't need to,

honestly, have you ever heard of a cop giving a cop a ticket?


spending the night in jail, much worse.

honestly who can commit suicide with their watch?

please just let me keep my watch on.


my collect call pay phone is broken.


so for now quick legs, shredded fingers and palms from the fences and the bushes, not again, not tonight.
