If only I were
Invent a fictional zip code where a different version of you could live. Who is he there? What did he choose differently?
If only I were there
The world could be mine
A new life to build
A new time to thrive
/
If only I were there
The town could be mine
The rules could be fine
A new time to thrive
/
If only I were there
The a place I could be me
Nobody to shame and nobody to be
A new place to live
/
If only I were there
No time to invent
No place to resent
The world could be mine

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

I love the idea of escape, starting fresh somewhere you can just be. Beautifully expressed.
