closeness,
what's distance from it?
where does twisted steel
enter scene,
like a cheap city fence
ready
to slice up
desperate fingers
calves
livers and kidneys
what have you
from those running
into,
too fast
too urgently
to realize,
"all I need
to do
to escape
is to try going over?
instead of running ferociously in a single direction?"

I've never met anyone
who could suffer in silence as well as you.
but that's like compilmenting
someone who can drive a car
fast, aggressively, very
safely, efficiently, and well.
so if that's your strength
then what's your weakness?
what can improve, or at least be
mitigated down to irrelevance?
probably learning to ask for help, right?
you have to practice
to get better at that one too.
your mind has to whisper,
"over.
trust me."
