someone I knew was afraid of apes
orangutans, monkeys, gorillas
even on the TV
I think I may know why
and someone else ran from snakes, bees, cats
and I thought myself brave for not flinching
but my worst fear always lurked
breathing a giggle
that none could hear
Brand "X" , and ACME, poems and stories. Surreal, sappy, funny, horrific, and human.
Love this!
