cat walk

high up above

like a cat clings

to an icy root

he keeps a slow pace

tight hold

anxious view. there's something ticking away

inside his head. he's got to keep that vital distance

you can see it in his eyes

that glance across the shoulder

he's on a cat walk

he's got a cat walk

he's on a cat walk

he's got a cat walk

he's always on the far side of the street

never getting too close

too near

might meet

someone a little too close to himself

you can see it in his eyes

those eyes are getting older

you can see it in his eyes

that glance across the shoulder
