escaping by the river

i was hoping that
A
(index raising),
the water would be warm,
B
(middle accompanying),
i wouldn't be alone,
C
(bare ring lifting),
He'd screw me 'til I'm born,
D
(pinky fighting odds),
sound would travel faster,
and E
(thumb dumbly pouting),
you'd want my whole disaster.

escaping by the river
always proves to be
a tricky time of sifting
through the mysteries
of what my hair confuses
when delivering the day,
but underneath my skin
you're never far away.
