The Escapists

The night has bobbed away….the stereo blasting Through the moon roof as the highway markers Roared by….the night has bobbed away….like Sinatra’s undercover meetings with the makers ….nobody heard us running as far and as fast As we could, following the zephyr in the night Sky….Orion’s Belt, leading us towards the “daybreakers” waiting for us on the other side …..the night has bobbed away….trains bearing Down on us like incantations, squeezing our Thoughts…..me, dewey and grin….always on The run, convinced of our capture, but positive About our escape….just 3-more miles to go ….lights up ahead….on que, dewey goes right, I go left, and grin, he stays with the ride ….grin, he always stays with the ride Grins the man….. 01/14/11 10:12 pm © All Rights Reserved

Very intriguing tale of three men in flight as they drive through the night. Really like the style you employed here, Jimbo. Quite original and creative! I'm guessing they managed to escape. Cool poem. Love, Carolyn
