11/3/2020: running [poem]

 running


You either run for office

or you run away from cops

who want to beat someone up

give em a reason or sometimes not

or you run away by plane or train 

never stay in one place too long

to make enough friends who would be there for you in the end

run like a stocking

like paint on a wall

a festering sore

something you might find ugly

but I've always found beautiful

like water, like rain

swing batter batter, swing

run home

like someone terrifyed

by the booms outside

why do we have to live this way

this can't be all

this can't be everything
