Somewhere doing something exciting for once

They came from all sides of the building
Running their sirens like dogs off the chain
I hopped across the roofs
Pacing each jump landing equal balance
I go to the shortest ledge
And hop to the wall closest to the nearest neighborhood and reach over
I pull myself into the backyard
Run towards the front of the house
I hop over the side gate
And make my way racing across the road with the dimly lit streetlights guiding my uncertain path
I keep jumping over side gates and hopping to the next house after
If I’ve made this any worse on myself it hasn’t
This meth in my bag would get the best of that fate
But I’m not worrying about anything then
I just keep running, hopping, doing what I got too to get away
I make it to the sewers on the side of one of the houses
I busted my ankle pretty hard getting down from the wall
But it didn’t matter how far down it was
I was to excited to look down at this point
I could only hobble so I made my way to the middle and hid in the tunnels
As I get farther down it gets darker
Until it’s pitch black
I stand there
Sweating heavily
Breathing even harder
I hold on my knees and look the way I came
Waiting for a siren
Or a dog
Or a bullet
I’ll just let myself burn down here for awhile
