Long Distance Plan
from 6/12/2003

distance embraced
I'll hold your hand by phone

Jesus, I'm sorry
sometimes I'd rather be alone

I admit in metaphor
I would not get by on my own

but I run away
with all the pride and ambition
of a murderer waving red hands
as he flees from prison

when stupid and selfish
are one in the same
I let you be scapegoat
and praise my own name

and in my mind you reside
as just another getaway ride

shame on me.
