Laughing at the old man Stalking me from the shadows Coming to capture me Pin me to his board Like some rebellious butterfly who won't stop fluttering Keep flying into the darkness...probing...probing For what? An escape hatch? A rabbit hole? The handsome stranger is coming for me Looking for me My imaginary enemy With his invading of my space Roaming free like this always makes him angry The cure for loneliness Antidote for hopelessness The old man his-self Couldn�t catch me if he tried

or even death....great writing...floria
