He Hammered

He hammered the nail,
hammering hard.
Was this his attempt,
in playing his last card?

I didn't know,
he said nothing to me.
Another attempt,
to break free?

Too much worry,
was on his back,
too much stress,
He jumped the track.

Hopping on his bike,
He wouldn't fail.
Breaking free, saying,
"I won't go to jail."

One last look,
it was last night.
He got on his bike,
riding out of sight.
