{ we will run }

some days you have to leave the phone ringing,
leave them all waiting, walk away from the questions
sling your belongings over your shoulder and act like you're never coming back.
go away for awhile.
don't turn on the music.
just open the windows and let the wind blow through.
square your shoulders, eat up the road.
and when you're good and ready,
go back,
knowing you took your time. knowing
for those moments you did exactly what you wanted.
and until six o' clock, it will have to be enough.
