The Fear Effect

Fear jumps out of sweat that drips Cascading down to bead up on lips Salt licked tongue to the throat it slips The recycled process of hydrated trips Scared little geese bump into everywhere Sensitive light breeze skin brushed up air Usually uncovered tiny little stand up hairs Completed by the shivers of warning beware Fear falls into a sort of suicidal embrace Dried by the elemental surprise of disgrace Vanishing into where by confidence it's erased Pushing through the exit door that slaps it's face
