Time goes away

The child spins

While the mother
      drinks gin

Dizziness

The child runs
In the park

The mother runs
In the dark

The child laughs
And runs some more

The mother lights
A cigarette lying on the floor

The child falls
And cries in pain

While the mother
Is getting high again

Time goes away
Time goes away
It's just another day

The child is not
A child anymore

The mother
still lies on the floor.
