Run Away
Run Away
Ticket counter still open but
no planes departing
Ticket plus dog scheduled for 7:10 AM
(Twelve Hours to nowhere)
Bag packed with who knows what.
Sidearm.38 snub-nose holstered on hip and loaded,
permit signed by Sheriff himself.
Boarding pass left on bar
After calling 17 times but she shows and
we have fun.
She puts me to bed with warnings of roommates sensitivities.
A liter and a half of Sky consumed but no side effects.
Lunesta samples on the nightstand.
But how many is too many?
Not toxic enough to do any good.
Sex is the next step but.
only to give and impossible to receive.
Dawn comes and homebound on Grant Avenue but,
o No key
o Garage opener dead
o Door bolts engaged
o Fear inside is oozing out
Her car appears and the dog is snatched.
Bus to town to find more blue Sky.
All the given gold traded for fresh supply,
pennies on the dollar.
Bus to airport.
More Sky at terminal bar.
Suddenly splashed with screaming anger
Could not respond and guards take her away
The law protects me.
Time to board after stashing,
Sky soaked hoodie under plastic chair.
Take off to nowhere for no reason.
Ohio is really Kentucky as are the strip bars.
Layover allows for two days of arms length love.
SOS to Son with instructions to follow.
Troops are sent and dog is snatched.
This would be the last communiqué for 54 weeks.
The beginning of the first involuntary confinement.
Freedom relinquished,
Like I had it to begin with!
302 to mental ward
Then to Ohio rehab for 28 days.
Early cure achieved,
while lies continue,
with smiles of well being.
The start of the next downward spiral is scripted for,
death or Insanity or freedom?
But first a word from my sponsor!
