Le garçon et le fil.

I dreamed of a man on wire
Who walked between two spires
And all about his ankles
Were looks of unbelieving Priests

Across a harbor bridge
Boats swooned beneath his feet
Wire held by Zeus and Hera
Each step precisely beat

Beside the Chrysler building
Lady Liberty below
Le garçon et le fil
A cunning circus show

And now I, here on the ground
Though not with my own eyes
Sit awestruck by the story
Of the man who danced the skies.
