i went with mg

to explore

the old greenhouse

 long

untouched

and

there

we discovered

all kinds

of interesting artifacts

from past eras

when

suddenly

he

warned me

not to

turn around

and

i imagined

every kind

of

horrible

gruesome

thing

lying there

but

i had to look

couldn’t

help myself

and

when

i turned

i saw

this

hideous

terrifying

clown puzzle

that had been

left behind

and

and i’d

venture to say

it was

abandoned

for a good reason

and

never missed

by anyone.

—-

courage is resistance to fear,

mastery of fear,

not absence of fear.
