i’m thinking about running away
leaving
just a duffle bag of fluff and my phone
guadalajara perhaps, learn acoustic guitar, become a mariachi
sneak across the boarder up north and become a lumberjack, or harvest syrup
jump in a freighter and get lost in china, eat scorpions and only speak mandarin
anywhere but here
somewhere new to be alone
light this fucking couch on fire and slowly walk through the flames
that is how i got to texas
burned down my old life and started new
this one doesn’t fit like it should anymore
the pants slip down, too tight in the crotch, too loose in the ass
the crumpled shirt needs ironed
and every t-shirt is marred by gunshots in the chest
just a couple pair of vans and sayonara to it all
make it easier on everyone
buy a used typewriter and click my way to a new horizon
go analog in a digital hell
find a new dream that is attainable instead of the same out of reach wishes
i missed my chances here in this one
a duffel bag of failure and a motorcycle through peru
get lost in the andes
set up shop at tierra del fuego
a new man, with new baggage
just a typewriter and ribbons of ink
mend the broken parts on ayer’s rock, or wake up in an opium den
cut my foot on the coral and call the sharks to feast
escape
Its in dreamy state the healing and truth come

Aboriginal people is the oldest living on earth. They hold the ancient ways of healing. In Alice Spring where the Ayer’s Rock is, they also have the upside down trees with the nuts from the trees Aboriginal people make their arts.

Lol this is good. I love “escaping”. I have a post in draft about making my mark on each town. Leaving with just a bag, going where no one knows me. Living on room service. No plans just going. Great writing!:)

Thank you. I just want to go somewhere I can vanish. Walk into the forest and fade away.
