On daily life like a pond a circle a perimeter
but deep enough to drown witches
tell me the password and you can go in
and spend some time with the kids
kickabout and expensive ice cream
relish the day and their ages
down the tracks we see a train crash
many pretend to be dead
many more fake living
after school we'd see the children leave
the similarity to hostages and the cold light
of day is not lost on any of us
but we acted not, just finished the paperwork
and planned holidays we couldn't afford
so, there we are—say it, say it and mean it
learn the list and repeat it when pressed
