On opposite sides of the room

diagonal corners collide

two troublesome fellows

and a foreigner

passing on by

 

caught by the left hand

right brain

wrong way

don't let your feet fly

stay put

it's alright

better stay to the side

 

don't let your lids shut

heavy they fall,

but he has soulful brown eyes

 

don't let your limbs stretch

too far out of reach

don't let your heart swell,

just peak through

one eye,

better stay to the side.
