Tippy-Toe, Tippy-Tippy Toe… Poem by Louise Tredoux

Living life in small measures, tippy-tippy-toe,
living in small steps, tippy-tippy-toe; only a
small part of multidimensional personality
can be allowed to appear in physical reality

Living with small emotions, tippy-tippy-toe,
living with small feelings showing, tippy-tippy-
toe; only skimming the surface of what’s
underneath, little bits of nothingness

Twenty-first century life, lightly touching the
full dimension of feelings, tippy-toe, tippy-
tippy-toe, everything big is buried underneath
tippy-toe, tippy-tippy toe…
