Just now I almost said something very dangerous.
Today I played with fire,
I bought a frayed red ribbon,
And the ribbon, at least, is no longer frayed.
“Cruxial” is one way to describe it,
But so is “conceivably disastrous”.
Just now I thought it would be nice if I could be Philomel.
Today I played with fire,
I flicked off the switch for the skies,
And the skies, at least, are no longer greyed.
“Rebellious” is one way to describe it,
But so is “readily surprising”.
Just now I thought I’d never write like this again.
Today I played with fire,
I lit the stove for my appetite,
And my appetite, at least, is no longer pained.
“Fruitless” is one way to describe it,
But so is “finally gratifying”.
