I carry my safety
Around my neck.
I carry our safeties
Around my neck.
Around my neck
So I don’t lose them
When I go out
To face the unknown.
My smart phone,
My bus pass,
My home keys,
My red plastic whistle.
A Temu red whistle
I wear outside
To warn my neighbors
When danger happens.
I carry my safety
Around my neck.
I carry our safeties
Around my neck.
Close to my heart.
