Hurry
Hurry,
You're alive
On the edge of a sidewalk
Like a colony
The size of a shoe.
Hurry!
A day only cares so much,
Ventriloquists.
Do you speak for more than
A universal illusion?
Hurry down
'Twixt concrete and soil.
Safety, that universal illusion.
A colony
The size of a spade.
You escape
Many tragic things by luck,
Or love,
But a day only cares so much,
Ventriloquists.
