week 379 ~ the timid change stripes so quickly
the timid change stripes so quickly
as if in reaction to what
seems too good to be theirs a gut
feeling that unexpectedly
bounces hard when dropped certainty
is in short supply and bad days
circle back bite the hand that stays
outstretched so curl up in a ball
blast through denial block recall
don’t ask why there can’t be always
Oh..so very true…the timid do indeed change stripes quickly.

A verse that has morphed from more personal to a more universal point of view in the time between when I wrote it and when it was finally posted.
