Run Away

The boy was a small law. He was not the dog of a claw Or a hobo on the tracks. He was a small law of paper Jotted down and dried to cries As others have faced loneliness In the rush of brave new progress Built from flaws and more tar. The boy was a small law Unto himself as dignity will Unfold itself from dark velvet, Stained glass wonders jerked back To traffic lights from prison cells. He was astonishment and rage Caught in the carelessness of his. He reached into a frightened truth To touched the limits, close And less than any welded cage. February 2001
