Child's Play

“I’m running away from home

 you can't stop me”

And so began my journey.
lucky for me
tracks ran right through our town

every day ... three freights ... one passenger

I counted 'em!

{ same tracks where my school chum
vernon higgins died ... he was only eight }

I think about him now
as i grab hold, jump aboard

no mean feat for a nine-year old
let me tell you

I have a plan
figure three weeks 

is plenty long enough

for them to come 

to their senses
