Don't know WHERE this came from. I am fine. :) Just wrote it as it came.

F E A R -

black-and-white
zebra trying to
blend into its
s u r r o u n d i n g s.
Its heart beats in
red alarms of terror;
it wants to shrink into
invisibility...
and maybe,
if it is lucky,
maybe the danger
will pass it by
to left or right,
and avoid coming
anywhere towards it.
Its reasoning:
if
 no 
  one
   sees
      it,
it won't die today.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

Your well crafted words give a new meaning to, "Fear."
I'll be looking often to see how wide my stripes are!
... And, for plaaces to hide.
My, what you do stir up ! ! !

WOW! How this pertains to so many aspects of life! One thing is, even if you stand still and try to blend into the foilage or landscape--odds are that big cat's gonna get you. I'd rather take my chances and run with all I've got! Yes, powerful Karla!
