The Gallery

If you run with the pack
you'd better
learn how to howl
to
curl back your lips
bare your teeth
and growl

it's no good purring like
a pussy cat,
there ain't
no one's going to be
frightened of that.

But if you're a loner
you learn how to fade out
to
escape from the crowds
who love milling about,

which would you be?
