Poem #1 by Brit de Groot:

Did you have your phone?

Did you tell someone where you were going?

Or when you'd be back?

Did you have your headphones in?

What was the time of day?

Was the path well lit?

I just wanted to run free,

to run without worry.

why couldn't I do that?

Why did the burden fall on me?

Poem#2 by Josh Lynott - Switching sides.

Switching sides,

left right, left right

car slowing

slower

slower

slower

eyes focused in,

not on the ocean

not on the moonlight

heart racing

da dum, da dum

she doesn't run from left to right,

she doesn't run at night.
