when we get to michigan we’ll sleep
covering our faces from the morning
when we rise with tired eyes
we’ll cut losses and sever ties
with everyone we’ve ever known before
the freight train, city park, and grocery store
where all the checkout girls and stockboys
are spies sent from our parents to drag us home
we shoplift some sandwiches
a quart of milk and bandages
to cover up the gash put in your leg
where you fell down after stepping off the train
we don’t trust anything
we can’t get for free
and if we have any problems left tomorrow
it won’t be because of me
when we finally get to new york city
we’re gonna need a more tangible plan
and when we do i hope that you will remember the mess i got us through
while we were still stuck in illinois
i don’t love anyone
and you don’t love me
and tomorrow when you wake up with a headache
please don’t take it out on me
i don’t trust anything
and you don’t love me
and tomorrow if you woke up and i was missing
you wouldn’t go looking for me
