Everyone walking on tiptoe in the dark,
Everyone standing behind the waterfall,
Everyone lost not far from home,
Everyone trying to steal the same peach,
Everyone taking whatever they can get,
Everyone swimming against the tide,
Everyone humming a favourite song,
Everyone admiring someone else’s reflection,
Everyone talking in muffled voices,
Everyone choosing between fire and water,
Everyone pretending to be a movie star,
Everyone making love with gloves on,
Everyone peeking at the moon through their fingers,
Everyone falling through the ice,
Everyone mishearing something important,
Everyone nodding and shaking their heads,
Everyone checking the rear-view mirror,
Everyone losing their favourite toy,
Everyone marching to a ghostly drum,
Everyone dreaming of tropical islands,
Everyone taking the pills as prescribed,
Everyone leaning out of the train window,
Everyone dutifully walking the dog,
Everyone tying themselves up in knots,
Everyone trying on different disguises,
Everyone spending imaginary money,
Everyone pretending to know a great secret,
Everyone caught with their hand in the till,
Everyone putting their vote in the ballot box,
Everyone queuing for the Ferris wheel,
Everyone nervous as the plane takes off,
Everyone playing solitaire for high stakes,
Everyone awake and dreaming,
Everyone doing one-fingered press-ups,
Everyone coming in through the exit,
Everyone looking out for land from the crow’s nest,
Everyone baffled and bemused by each other,
Everyone shopping for non-existent things,
Everyone crowding around the crash victim,
Everyone learning their ABCs,
Everyone their own ghostwriter,
Everyone remembering a nursery rhyme,
Everyone pretending to be Churchill or Napoleon,
Everyone looking for something special for Christmas,
Everyone checking the lavatory seat.
