Verity

What dreams have we kept, they ask us the ghosts, sat on bar stools bereft, leave us alone thank you, our mouths do not coax, the sounds of grim news, we sail on the crest, if they call us dopes, still dancing no less, do what we say we'd do, faces strong as stone, we don't heed your views, stuff learned to test, carry tiny worms of hope, deep within our breasts, you won't make us rue, carry all we know, sunlit Streets Avenues, we hope you mean well, asking how we'll cope, does it really help, measuring our bones?
