in your big winter jacket
rainboots coverd in mud
on your old sister's centurion
95 Air Max Jordans
baseball card in the spokes
sweatpants and soaking wet ski gloves
and you knew there'd be vultures
wolves in and around
underneath the darkness closing in from every cornor
and the rain pours down
too afraid to look over your shoulder
casted shadows from beneath the stairs
and it seems that there's no explanation
your breathing heavy
you're frightened, you're scared
there were ropes attached to hinges
that were latched above the door
and it opened once the wheels began rolling down the floor
lifted up slowly as the weight began to drop
left hanging by your ankles at the very very top
you hatched a plan
it was written in the pages of your notebook
step by step instructions
that you folded up and kept in a box
but you never never
but you never forgot
gung ho
all the way down to 31st
and by the fraternity
through the halls of Highkey Gym
and new quay was the college auditionrium
from your bedroom
you would hear the drummer drum
when the band began to play
there were raffles and consolation prizes
