We’re Tiptoeing

By Andrew R. Duckworth

Today, we’re tiptoeing.
Stomp those feet
And you’ll disappear-
A ghost that everyone
Hates to remember.
So, today, we’re tiptoeing,
Careful not to step
On those shells.
Dammit, we’re on ice
That’s already cracked
And the cards aren’t stacked
In our favor.
So, today, we’re tiptoeing.
