flashback .. we'd played it beautifully
while I was being hastily handcuffed
Rusty had rushed to grab the smoke
where he'd hidden it so fast
only he and God knows where
he and I had departed quickly
in totally opposite directions
we knew the pissed off .. revengeful narcs
were still out there .. hiding somewhere
in the pitch black dark .. observing us
upon leaving .. Rusty asked
if I needed a ride home
if I wanted my stash back
really .. he wasn't all there
I waved him off as I left
I was giddy .. smirking deep inside
everything had worked perfectly
i'd led the over confident narcs
on a wild assed goose chase
I was free .. my smoke .. safe
flashback .. the week before
my truck had broken down
i'd ended up riding the bus
to school every single day
a strange guy .. was riding too
he was really aggressive
trying hard to act so cool
neatly trimmed hair on his collar
dark .. thick .. five o'clock shadow
barely showed through light makeup
even though one could tell
he'd recently had a shave
a tiny detail he'd overlooked
he pretended to be a hippie
like he was one of the crowd
my internal alarms went off
