What Works For Me

School bully pushed off with both hands and feet. My heart in my throat, I stood up to cheat. I am a clown with a weapon called pause - I chased his focus with raucous applause. I told him, “Feel free to stay or take flight.” I could tell this kid was set for a fight. Being a sprinter, I went with my feet and then took off running in quick retreat. I'm a pacifist, I love what's quiet so I dodged the spots where kids might riot. I'm also a stoolie so when I stop I check with the office and the school cop. February 3, 2013
