Life The china is tipping from the mantle are you reaching for it?
And the fire in the fireplace has spit an ember are you stomping it?
Oh look the doors flown open and the cat is watching are you closing it?
Now the tub upstairs is warmly filling up will you stop it?
How many arms do you have? How many mouths to scream from?
So many things require you, so many eyes are watching what you do
Do you have it in you to pick one and and not look back
Let the water spill, say goodbye to the cat fan the fire of the china crash
Walk away
Walk away
Head held high
For the exigency now is peace in the soul
