The Fear Effect

Fear jumps out of sweat that drips
Cascading down to bead up on lips
Salt licked tongue to the throat it slips
The recycled process of hydrated trips

Scared little geese bump into everywhere
Sensitive light breeze skin brushed up air
Usually uncovered tiny little stand up hairs
Completed by the shivers of warning beware

Fear falls into a sort of suicidal embrace
Dried by the elemental surprise of disgrace
Vanishing into where by confidence it's erased
Pushing through the exit door that slaps it's face
