Traversing between two lives
Like tap dancing on trampoline
i tip gently over ma
tap manly over pa
pretending not to care
not to see the scars
stitched, sewed over
line by line by line
he obeyed me to walk
alone, line of lies and foes
ma cooed me to bear
lonely identity of unknown
smile in presence of friends
ms little ballerine
see how she dances
alone all so beautifully
in her tutu pink
in her toes bleed red
in her face dazzle smiles
in her mind dangle woes
night time stars preach
be brave my little peach
day time sun shines
be smart you little witch
tap tap you silly thing
tap down the pavement
quick
don�t want no slow coach man
carrying my sack or crime
fold yourself up
hide your face
gonna ship you into
bank of heaven bless
shipped in
take out
green notes
don�t doubt
don�t fuss
no words
no tears
I�m boss
outside she smiles
blessed me
what fortunes
we meet
hand in hand
the two of us walk
mother and child
little girl of four
