RUN

Steven’s shadow had it bad for him
A tattle-tale and a truant
Took off running never to come home again
Steven did not go looking
Left alone on the sunny day
Wondering
Where would he go
Up and away
And he went
Where would he go
Up and away
And he went

DON’T RUN

Don’t run Steven
The shouldered girl pulled off the brick wall
I’ve got the time now
I need you to listen
See this here
And that there
And why not
Steven had been asking himself the same question
Throughout the trip
And fall came and went
Steven and the shouldered girl
Soldered to the brick wall

RUN

From the outside
Looking in
Steven didn’t like it
Did not
Didn’t
Idn’t funny
He thought
Har
Har
I’m going to go
He thought
Far
Far
And in the end, a D
So fard
So good
The end

DON’T RUN

It was a mess
Down the leg
Up the arms
If he took a picture
It would last longer
So Steven geared up
Press hat in hand
A stick of gum in the other
And before he bit
He sneezed
A chew

RUN

It was scary
How cousin Larry
Made friends with Pressy Lee
It was funny
How teddy money
Bought bears for fuzzy tea
Drinking feathers
And fairing weathers
The skin to cracking glee
The smile widens
A gator gliding
A wave washed out to sea

DON’T RUN

With each tip
The waiter took
His time to settle down

RUN

Steven’s picture
Was getting clearer
A prize grab
A golden gotcha
The eureka moment approaching
He bathed quietly not to awake the others
And tip toed naked
Into dewy morn’

DON’T RUN

With no camera
Steven wanted a deck of cards
The trash bucket
Outside the magic store
The right opportunity
Only it was filled
With dirt soap
And vomit cologne
But as luck would have it
Roll dice every day
Steven stretched out
And penguin waddled the block

RUN

A gathering dust grows no wings
Duck bearded plate of puss
And the old five and dime
Was too rich for Steven
Here in the final lap of luxury
His watch bigger every second
He saw see saw
The back and forth and come around
And standing still wouldn’t do
Sounding silly
Astounding
He waved and called ‘em cheerers
Elected to be chairman
Steven sat down

DON’T RUN

Who will win
The champion of the world
A prize at this fair
Odds are stacked against you
Shooting bottles off the shelf
Take a big sip
The river we swim down
The ocean we end in
The soda our savior
Our island reflecting
Recycling sun setting
Empty head
Empty netting
The sad dolphin does not cry
He swims

RUN

DON'T RUN
