BLACK TOP HATS & WHITE GLOVES

Candice James

Copyright 2009

Black top hats and white glove,

Velvet and satin blending magnificently.

I clap at the thought with a thundering heartbeat.

I lay my hands on a brainwave

To let it be as it is meant to be.

We create our own walls and then,

We either climb them, crumble them

Or hide behind them.

Wherever we decide to be,

Inside or outside our wall,

We’re always allowed to wear what we wish.

I choose to wear

Black velvet top hats and white satin gloves.
