I’ve been everywhere
Once I was lithe
Strong limbs that leapt and pirouetted
Look at my dancer’s feet
I wanted to go everywhere
Detoured by reckless love
Only got in trouble for my troubles
Look I was beginning to show
I was known everywhere
Above the fold bold headlines
To a footnote in a plywood trunk
Look what’s become of me
Carry me where you go
Only travelled as far as Brighton Station
Unclaimed never named
But look at my feet they danced.
