Strange Things Happen In Ohio

So many things

Are happening everywhere

Outside closed doors

The world rotates

On an imaginary axis

Slowly orbiting the sun

Knock at the door in Cincinnati

Led to a phone call to the police

A cruiser came by

Officers arrived and made a call

An unmarked vehicle came by

Detectives took fingerprints, took notes, took coffees to go

I-75 was just outside her door

Big potted plants stood like soldiers on her porch

A dim light danced with night-time moths

But the moon is what really claimed the night

She exited through the back door

Slipped on out and bypassed all the investigators

Went to the bus station for a Greyhound

Decided it was time to flee

And make for the Eastern Seaboard
