Big Winter Jacket

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
