Monkey Bars

Two ninjas attempt to cross laser beams

In April mist, and it seems they

May never make it to the right side 

Before they fall endlessly. 

In April mist, it seems 

There is never a way out and 

May could never make it to the right side 

Of this playground. 

There is never a way out 

With two troubled ninjas and ten captors

On this playground, 

Unless a prize is awarded.

With two troubled ninjas and ten captors, 

Friendly hands turn cold, 

Even when a prize is awarded 

To the happy victor. 

Friendly hands turn cold 

On monkey bars 

And the happy, lasting victor 

Becomes a captor of joy. 

On monkey bars, 

Ninjas and captors can’t mingle 

Unless you too want to become a captor of joy

In serious matters. 

Ninjas and captors can’t mingle, 

A divided terrain, especially 

In serious matters

Forever unforgiven and unforgotten. 

A divided terrain, especially 

Between two ninjas attempting to cross laser beams,

Forever unforgiven and unforgotten 

In the endless fall.
