                         Plot
by Nicholas Perez


Peel away
You blue textured wallpaper
Let the world hear your Roar
Show them all your meticulous disdain
I can hear you laughing
The sardonic undertones match my mood
Laugh on
Never let them repair you
Keep your rolling corners
Away from their brushes
Saturated with glues
Be
Live
Roll up and away
To escape this hell
And blow away on the highway breeze
I won't tell them where you went
Not for money
Not for fame
Your heart is safe with me
So escape!
I'll hold the door
And screen the followers
It's a perfect plan
On a perfect night
I'm glad you agree
