The Escape From Conviction
ReplyDeleteBy Fast Getaway
So there you go.
It was strapped to my leg like her
flashy got u under control
smile…shedding all fatigue in an endless
panorama of closed doors. But,
what was I doing there at all?
Whew strapped again, to the wheel bay 747
flight to smog city for a dose of the gdamn…
What happens there is broadcast to the world;
still to get busted for her toys in a distant
excuse for a getaway. Shot down like dogs,
mistaken for escape convicts! Summer fun 2014.
