Things I Fear At This Second

Things I fear
Bobcat’s cry, toddler’s sniffle, quick run of a mouse
Startlingly startling
Things I also fear…
IV pokes, trying when you have no clue.
Going blind.
No basis for some
History on others.

Fantastic poem "trying when you have no clue. Going blind." Two of my greatest fears as well.

Yep a few on your list are on mine. I also hate blood pressure cuffs.

I do not mind those at all. I just set them aside and watch the horrified nurses run back in thinking it was them.
