i'm pretty sure
this is one of
the wisest pieces
of advice
i've seen
well meaning, anyway.
i walk alone
and it's a strange thing
every single time
i begin walking
i have an intense urge
to bust a move
and dance to the
music in my ears
but that would be
like feeding the animals
so i don't do it.
i am suspicious
when i walk alone
so i am constantly glancing
behind me
preparing to fight
in my mind
i am a fantastic fighter
my body moves
in deadly arcs
i can turn
anything
into a weapon
and i will
d r o p
any fool that
comes near me
i am an animal.
i shouldn't be fed
with crazy daydreams
but i keep. getting. fed.
and once i've been fed
i just want to eat more
the desire is overwhelming.
every few days
i consider taking up
a new hobby
like smoking,
or a destructive
non-committal attitude
but i always decide
not to feed
this animal
anything
but words.
