lift the whole room

with one hand

use the other

to hold them back

 

while you check

your notes

you get each other

under control

 

when they feel safe

you let the world in

through a space

between vents

 

take their questions

replace them

it’s a dangerous job

lookout for America

 

they come at you

when you’re down

adding on

a thousand more pounds

 

with enough sleep

you can be ready

ready for

anything
