Life
is
a slip
on the ice
It's a spent game
a try, a clash
a save, a dash
It's a burger
with the works
a song & dance,
a purloined chance
a flashy show,
a slow-river flow
a blind quest,
a fleeting guest
It's a dense mirror
a cloudy glass,
a quick pass
a heedless pawn,
a crystal dawn,
a sly ploy,
a heart-busting joy
It's a sinner's prayer
