Run! Run as fast as you can!

I crossed out the marks, from my old plan.

She stirred the dirt, with every step in her journey,

making her way,

without any hurry.

I laughed and then cried out loud,

“I told her to run, I told her to scurry.”

He scratched at my face with his dirt encrusted claw,

But only one thing I knew was his flaw.

I walked out on him,

For I knew he needed me.

The world outside was dim

And running was the key.

I took off through the grass,

Long, and dark and free,

I knew not much time could pass,

before he’d catch up to me.

Serpentine, is what I’d do,

Around the trees,

without a clue.

I felt a breeze,

Around my feet,

But then found out,

It was his teeth.
