You can’t flee faster than your legs run
\nAin’t no magic overcome the laws of science.<\/p>\n
Still, Tuesday afternoon I put on a dress
\nOrange, with a fitted waist and a flowing skirt
\nBlack runners, red logo laced up, out of place.<\/p>\n
I can only run a few miles, huffing puffin mess
\nBut I could gain more ground underground.<\/p>\n
Subway take to as far as the Bronx.
\nDamn that ain’t far enough.<\/p>\n
Metro North carry we on like a bird
\nYou can’t flee faster than your legs run<\/p>\n
I can only run a few miles, huffing puffin mess.
\nProblem: I don’t any bucks, less than my stamina.
\nHitchhike and risk a ditch burial<\/p>\n
Run on, run down, run around
\nI keep running, my feet no longer touch ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
