Primal Fear
You can take the readers to the water,
but you cannot make them drink
A thirst most carry deep inside
can totter at the brink
You can lead them right up to the edge,
but you’ll never make them jump
The choice is theirs, the Muses dare
—as fear still primes the pump
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)
