You and Yours

You with your shoes of spiderwebs
and your castiron clothes
You get your feet wet but
are so afraid to swim

You choke down pretty wasps
with a smile and swear
The stings make your lips
look not so very thin

You with your woodcut eyes
and your waterlogged ears
You're dying to hear voices but
can't see the radio signal

You save babies every day
with careless brush strokes
You smash your glass heart
and pretend it was unintentional
