losing our marbles going mob mode

we

take care of ourselves,

our skin,

our eyes, careful

with

bugs

and flies, careful with

poison ivy

and cuts

and bruises from

thorns

and jagged hooks

on fences,

we watch

for splintered wood,

for rusty

nails,

we look both ways

when crossing

a street,

we try to brush after

every meal,

we are in constant survival

mode

to save ourselves,

and yet,

sometimes we lose

our minds when we go

mob mode.

we do stupid things,

and end up in jail.
