the break out

the tunnel
is nice. paved and lighted.
fresh air blown in.
there is a coffee
kiosk at
each half mile,
a rest stop with a massage
chair to take a break
from breaking
out of a Mexican prison.
at the end
of the tunnel a car
awaits,
and a bouquet of flowers,
a small band
and a parade
with a banner saying
welcome home.
we missed you.
