cinema fugitive

nah, she didn't 

she didn't tell her ma 

instead she hid out
in the cinema

the local odeon

she pretended to be 

a custodian 

donned a pair of overalls 

and a broom

'I'll go back soon

she often thought, over her head
a dark cloud loomed 

and soon became later

and later became the future

and the future
is still in a little while 

so she skulked off

to the theatre, couldn't bear the
thought of being found 

without a sound, she sunk into a seat 

her seat, in the back row 

she'd watch show after show

she'd sit through the trailers

mull over her failures 

she lived on stale nacho's 

and pic n mix, jalepenos and 

an assortment of dips

I'll go home soon, I'll fix
everything, though I'm so alone

though there's no room left for me
though there's no way
the future came and went

-she's still there-

odeon custodian

(overalls an' all)
