staying out of harms way

we learn
early that the stove is hot,
that
the electric
slot will shock you
went wet,
that the knife
is sharp,
the pool deep
and
from the roof it's
a long fall down.
we learn
to be careful in so many
ways in this life,
avoiding the pitfalls
that it has to offer.
we learn and remember
so much,
we learn
how to stay out of harms
way 
in nearly everything,
everything that is,
but love.
