Bathed by tragedy,
you take the fuel
to your car
and chew the gum
'til you get far.

Leave the baggage
from where you were;
chew your gum.

Take the luggage,
all things needed;
chew your gum.

Both feet on gas,
break though hundred;
chew your gum.

Hear the siren,
ignore safety;
chew your gum.

The cops are after you.
Spit out the thing
in your mouth;
take another.

Open the door, your car.
Leave the slippers
in your seat;
chew another.

You chew on it all the time.
Please choose the best moment
and complete the lost fragments.
Appreciate the flavor enough;
do not complain about your gum.

Your dream will not fade
into an old gum
unless you chew on it
with all the wrong teeth.

Now, run;

move to the closest
and safest city.
