he remembers escaping from prison
he managed to run away
the evil men with the machine guns
they plugged him with bullets
he kept trying to run away
he lived through it
he told me his dreams 8
he knew he had to escape
he was captured by evil people
but the more he ran, the slower his steps
slower and slower, he’s not going anywhere
caught up
why can’t he run away
forty, maybe more
he could feel them hitting him, feel them
and they would catch up to him
take him back to prison, still alive
he was still full of holes
why can’t he run away
