jump high the bleached and splintered stairs
today was so many no’s and don’ts
and now the children are poison darts
and now she come here and just give me a hug
no really that’s what she said
the parents know that water’s good
and beating on the window
set the crickets down with heavy sun
squeaks and whistles rattling every tree
i won’t back up ‘til the battle’s won
and here I sit
come on let’s go out front ‘cause she’s only five
or ten minutes away
