Pantoum by Lauren Kahle


Lauren ran around the daycare playground
Without a care in the world
Besides who was “it”
Living moment by moment

Without a care in the world
Impossible to grasp the big picture of time
Living moment by moment
No troubles, no worries

Impossible to grasp the picture of time
The little girl laughs with her friends
No troubles, no worries
Today is today, tomorrow will be too

The little girl laughs with her friends
Aniise, Sarah, Lindsay, Ashley and Erica
Today is today, tomorrow will be too
They play games in their free time

Aniise, Sarah, Lindsay, Ashley and Erica
Unaware that friendship doesn’t last forever
They play games in their free time
Like truth or dare

Unaware that friendship doesn’t last forever
Thoughts so innocent
Like truth or dare
They dare her to sit on an ant pile

Thoughts so innocent
Yet undecidedly so
They dare her to sit on an ant pile
But don’t ants bite?

Yet undecidedly so
Unaware of their youthful ways
But don’t ants bite?
Yes, yes they do

Unaware of their youthful ways
Happily oblivious
Yes, yes they do
But she sits on it anyway
