Breaking Out


take me
far away now from
this brutal countryside

take me
far away from cold eyes
and menacing looks
of vinegar people

take me
far from braggers
of wide tv screens, dirt
bikes, new pick-up trucks

take me
far from big mouthed
men believing all women
are their personal slaves

take me
away now from these
remote control brains
lost in the last century

take me
far away from rural
America so I can breath
the acrid air of a great city
