Free Writing I

loud
abrasive
metallic sounds
running through streets, alleys
knocking over garbage cans
climbing fences and jumping them
Banging on doors
Kicking them down
Climbing out a back window
Falling down to large garbage bin
Cops race by
Lights flashing everywhere
Duck backwards down an alley
Keep running
Block after Block
Increasing speed
Close on your heels now
Leap over a bridge
Through a park
Through trees, bushes
Cutting through traffic
Barely miss zooming cars
Make it to a safe house
Down the steps
and slam the iron door closed
