Creeping Up Our Shins
Kate Stables
Not much of a tune
Between me and you
Not nearly enough room
Why don't we breathe all the way in
Shake out our skins
And loose up our limbs
Loose up
And all of the mess
Down around our ankles
Creeping up our shins
Ever so untidy
Ever so unclean
Some of it was thrown here
But the rest of it got blown here
Ever so unsightly
Ever so
Why don't we breathe
All the way in
And loose
