(e)scapegoat
time ran out when the clock ran away,
disturbed by the mistake--
mistakes of a theme that runs away
from the faces that I make.
one hundred miles of lonely rooms,
lead me or follow now.
I have lived in all of these rooms,
but I had to get out somehow.
past and present, past and present,
no room for the future.
maybe a surprise to you.
maybe unwise to you.
but I want to live.
it's no mistake, I escaped.
too Mosaic to be true.
no complaint, it's easy
to take the fall for you.
I don't care what you do to your world,
but please stay out of mine.
brief lives and lies, get out of my world.
get in a circle and stand in line.
needed a clear picture of time,
too much space in my way.
need a lift to get out in time,
so please just go away.
