Squeak Squeak Squeak

I am running Faster

And Faster

Faster...

...Creak Creak Creak

This rust bucket's wheels’ squeal

The never ending grind

Grrr… the grrrride,

Gride!

Grating against my ears

Beating against my heart

Squeak Squeak Squeak

I am running Longer

And Longer

Longer...

...Creak Creak Creak

The hamster wheels’ scroop

Silence my sympathic shriek

Viva le grité,

Grité!

A growling boiling up my throat

A bonfire bubbling out of my heart

Squeak Squeak Squeak

I am becoming Ghostlier

Gossamer glossed over

Lost

But Beauty stayed with the brakes

The overworn warm tires’ screeched

The world’s spinning to a grinding halt

Her Glow,

Glow,

Greeting a new world in my mind

Beating strongly with my heart
