The Chase

Shadows on a shed

Something was misread

Wrong time, wrong place

Now we’re in a police chase

And someone wants us dead

Footsteps getting close

Or were they just ghosts

Heavy breaths

And no more rest

It feels like I overdosed

Tripping over rocks

Rain and soggy socks

The police come

With hancuffs and gun

But all I hear are clocks

No, wait- that’s my heartbeat

They push me in the backseat

I’m off to jail

To pay my bail

When will justice and I meet?
