{1} “Humpty Dumpty” 

Do the math, and don’t forget it—
there’s a moral and a meaning when you wax poetic.   Expertise of this kind is surely not found
in the minds of those who walk on the ground.   You can see so far from up there on your wall,
but everyone is expecting a swift, sudden fall.

Broken in pieces, you still give your advice,
an example of the dangers of climbing too high.




{2} “Paper Towns”
Maybe our ships
sink
Maybe our strings
break
Maybe our roots
die off
or we're cut free.

Paper tears so easily.     
  {3}   If we have a candle, I will light it.
If we have a sword, I’ll learn to wield.

If we have nothing, then I’ll be a shield.   If you’re burdened, let me carry.
If you’re drowning, I’ll drag you to land.

I’m not strong, but I'll offer my hand.   If we are small, at least we are loyal.
If we are fools, at least we have faith.

We’ll get there whatever it takes.
