four more years

four more years

and 39 days

I'll walk out of here

dropping plaques

and ink wet cards

in my wake

stepping over

a deflated yellow balloon

spinning slow

against the stairs

like Lot

like that prisoner

from the Edmonton 

Remand Centre, 

but I won't be breaking

a store window

to get back in

I'll keep walking

out to my ride

(a V8 Toyota Land Cruiser)

then drive

into the wild

deep into the wild.
