Random Beauty Shop Thoughts

What if the strange woman walks in here and slaps me?
I am sitting in the beauty shop, being crazy.
We have never met.
She is walking in now, directly in front of me.
Less than eight feet away.

What if she reaches down and bam!
Slaps me across the nose,
Tweaks my throbbing nose,
cuts my throat?

She is closer now, walking right toward me.
She kind of looks like a slapper.
Do I duck, flinch, or just stop being silly?

Your paranoia has set in and you need to take off running until you awake.

I have to just throw thoughts down sometimes, especially when I am BORED waiting for a haircut. This was yesterday. I penned fifteen poems in thirty minutes.

Do I take this just as a LOL poem or do I take it as a representation of social anxiety ? Or do I just stop thinking silly? One short poem, too many facets :D

Laugh Out Loud, and social anxiety, and stop being silly are all the correct answers in the order I was hoping for.
