away from the madness

 saturday morning
 out erranding 
 this little town is too busy today
 too mad 
 and i am too tired 
 to pretend 
 polite smiles and nods 
 are more than i can muster 
 i want to go home 
 to be alone 
 away from the madness 
 no one else seems to notice 
 the bobcat kitten lying dead 
 at the edge of the road 
 its beautifully patterned face 
 breaks my heart 
 it is the only thing that makes any sense
