Maybe I could play a game.
A game of Russian Roulette.
With the pretty silver revolver,
That my parents keep hidden.
Maybe I could play chase
With the cars that traverse the highway.
See which has more stamina,
The motor or the heart.
Maybe I could play a game of darts
Quick! Quick! I'm the dartboard!
A moving target is hard to hit.
Aim well, precious.
Maybe I'll play cat and mouse
With a wild animal.
Run, run! Which has more stamina?
The bear or the human girl.
These games you play are hard and fast
Like the beating of a heart.
But when I'm all worn down, it stops,
And becomes stone.
