After someone says something insensitive
And no one speaks up,
Or the tears that trickle down your cheeks
When you feel left out

Some say he knows every scaly fish / Although it sounds insane / He flies among the stars at night / And calls each shark by name
From the jungle of sleep, I blink into day. / I stretch my foal legs in my paddock of hay.
The day Kate got her superpowers, it came as quite a shock.
I love the way you gobble. / Like a bass giggle / in my stomach.

with diamond-bright shimmer,
with joy in the crests and troughs.
Hear my song — I'm flying.
Back and forth all day she flits /
and through the hole in their house she fits / not just each different thing she brings /but herself too, making sure each thing / is put in its proper place inside / until she's finally satisfied.
