Friday the 13th
by Kristina WoodhillSensible shoes could help you side step those
Unexpected cracks, although if you fall
Purgatory is an option, I mean, letÂ’s face it
Expectations appear at all rungs of the ladder and
Realizing you control the height could just upset some
Status quo pre-numbered thought and send you
Tumbling into the realm of nonprofit sanity
Imagine stepping off that finger-crossed woven
Tight rope youÂ’ve knotted into a safe house
Inventing your own number game could change your shoes entirely, although
Originality doesnÂ’t mean you have to dunk without a guard
No net, baby, no net

Tight rope, Inventing your own number game could change your shoes entirely...no net? if only! tell that to people with OCD! maybe this could be a new mantra, a ray of hope! my grandmother was superstitious, and i remember her safeguards against the evil eye! an entertaining write, thanks! PK |

Tight rope you’ve knotted into a safe house" gave me a mental picture of pinkie crossing ring finger, pointer crossing birdie and both arms crossed in a big X... "No net, baby, no net" is very inspiring... smooth flow... A real pleasure to read.
