the bag of tricks

we all have a black

bag of tricks.
ask the pope,

he has one.
the salesman,

the neighbor, the wife.
the child

in the other room.

we're all in the game
one way or another.

we reach into our bag
each

day after day,
to pay, to bribe,
to keep

our lives safe.
this is how we survive.

the bag of tricks,
if you don't have one,

well,
you'll never
stay alive.
