run, plastic grocery bag

run, plastic grocery bag run!
flee the tyranny of the painted parking space

run, plastic grocery bag run!
the wind aids your escape across the black pavement

run, plastic grocery bag run!
don't become enmeshed in that chain link fence

you'll hang screaming at the world

and who of us hears the screams
of a plastic grocery bag?
