In the event of an emergency
Grab pen and paper
Then run
Run as fast as you can
Until you find shelter
Under a tree
Behind an old ragged building
At the meeting of a bank and river
Underneath old bridge
Or any other pocket of peace that nature has to offer
And write
Write as if the flow of your words are to extinguish a burning soul
Capture this accident in stanzas to relieve your crowded mind
Separate your thoughts and spill sonnets that your tongue is too weak to speak
And let your poem be an ocean
Set sail
And drift a while
Take full notice of your emotions as they rise and sink
Write
Your life depends on it
Soon you’ll arrive to a deserted island
Stay there
And always remember
In the event of an emergency
Write a poem
