Running Late

smoke wafted up 
from my worried lips
my phone was dead
starbucks doesnt have outlets
we had run for 5 miles that day
so the extra few 
i ran to get home
didnt matter much
the people stared at the musty youth
running in flat shoes

i bet they saw some deadbeat hoodlum in the night
Im a killer without a sense of direction
the same thing I guess
