daniella is a girl with
an accordian
and everybody says
what's that thing
she is going down
town to play
and try to make
some spare change
on her side the accordian is strapped
the strap keeps coming unattached
it unfolds, like time
she'd better reel it back in before we die
daniella packed up
a bunch of toys and junk
to bring along
in case it rains
it would be sad
to be downtown
and not be
able to play
she's in front and on my back
are two incredibly heavy backpacks
one daniella's one mine
they shift and become unbalanced like my mind
daniella's running late
so i offered
to give her a ride
on my bike
now she sits on
the handlebars and
hangs on
for dear life
on her side the accordian is strapped
the strap keeps coming unattached
it unfolds with a funny noise
and smiles and cheers from the people that we pass by
