kidnapped!
|
I was kidnapped.
|
I dreamed I was kidnapped.
|
by a guy with a moustache
|
and a chick with an eyepatch
|
who though they could trade me back
|
for some quick cash.
|
but when they relayed the bargain
|
my family said,
|
"we'll pay half that"
|
|
the haggling went on for days,
|
the days went on for weeks
|
and weeks for years.
|
riding in the trunk was never fun
|
but soon I plum ran out of tears.
|
they camped us in the woods
|
we cooked canned goods
|
they never threatened me with pain.
|
they treated cops politely
|
driving nightly
|
always using coded names.
|
so if slowly I could trust them
|
dare I say it even love them
|
who's to blame.
|
|
I learned my alphabet
|
and letterset while setting up
|
my latest ransom note.
|
they got me correspondence classes,
|
got me glasses,
|
gave me dropcloths in the cold.
|
my fondest memories
|
are from my hostage crises
|
I know it's strange.
|
although we got so close
|
you know they never even
|
told me their real names.
