And of Us Both, I Wonder

You're sloppy with your body
Like it barely holds you in
You're reckless in the flesh you've learned to wear

You dance around your shadow
Like you scarcely keep it on
You slip around your errors like they're air

But I, in turn, am timid
With the skin I live inside
I cleave to every thread that keeps me warm

And of us both, I wonder
Who will find himself confined
And who will fall to unavoided harm
