(Theme: Paranoia)
Things of Which I am Regularly Afraid:
Bridges. Falling in cars.
Unmarked lanes. Broken lights. Broken glass. Needles. Pins. Tacks. Staples.
Nails. Air pressure. Water pressure. Depth. Unseen things. The dark side of the
street. Walking alone in the morning. Walking alone to school. Walking alone on
trails with the trees pressing in. Walking alone near roads and cat calls.
Walking alone in the evening. Walking alone at night with the 2AM drunks and
their stale breath and their bloodshot eyes. Walking alone with the silence and
stilldark of early morning. Walking alone unarmed. Walking alone looking like a
woman. Walking alone.
