Hoping to Take You Away

This is when we find out if there are still open spaces

always ready to drag you down tae their level of social

red-onion relish, have it with a green salad. A good, healthy

high-spirited declaration of self-discovery, driven

to lean on their tools and wipe at sweat and watch

the dream of a foreign land that I enjoy at home, staring,

unsullied by the mob. The audience liked this, and they

feels that ma means ay emasculating the rewards and

be feeling ill or have forgotten some vital papers. I dreamed

a gloomy day--rain had been pouring down in the aftermath

up to their shoulders, whooping and splashing. Many

years went by. I was then twice as old as the person who

cannot afford an unearned smile. Somehow, their faces

hear the rattle of the key in the door and my heart stops

a first and fleeting impression. The barbed wire

might see fit to clear it for release. Still, the

thought depresses the fuck oot ay us.
