Pretend.
Do you feel the world
Passing
  by?
And the pavement,
It stretches and yawns, welcoming
  You.
  The soles of your feet.
Someday
“we’ll skate down highways
  Like teenagers with nightmares”
And when the cars scream by
And I see
How you don’t flinch at the headlights
Sneaking up behind you
Anymore
I’ll take you
  Away
    We’ll
escape,
And find the hill with an altitude labeled
Never
  Ending
And we’ll go coasting
Down.
We’ll let velocity take our wheels and
Swing them
into the farthest galaxy,
With us
attached at the ankles
and when the stars stream past
and our hair covers our eyes
We can
Hide
  Together
And
Pretend.
