I ran away
like success
from the paralyzation
of my unfortunate fears
with my unknown tail
tucked quickly between
my weak, rubbery legs
intrepid like an unwanted Valentine
was a most disturbed I
who really does not care
after all
I too was ashamed of myself when
I first learned this
and for twelve whole years
when I first learned this
and for twelve whole seconds
I questioned my sanity
then I moved on......................
