Trifecta – Week 3

December 3rd, 2011 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 2 Comments »

Bouncing inside my skull
Like poisonous darts
The words wanted out
You bastard!
You bitch!

You unspeakable unprintable word

To stoop so low as
To bring her here
To invade
My sanctuary

My peace
Now shattered

Outside
Visible
Composure
Perfect grace

Welcome to my home
Dan has told me so much about you

And left much to my
Imagination

Won’t you come in?

This is my entry for Trifecta’s Challenge – Week 3. I can only imagine what life would be like if we did not censor our thoughts and allowed such to come out to play. There might be a collective sigh of relief – or a world shattered beyond recognition.

Along South Central Alaska’s coastal highways are posted signs that say ESCAPE ROUTE. Among other signs such as AVALANCHE AREA ENDS (I was in an avalanche area? Shiver), these can pull you up short if you are unaware.

Alaska has many earthquakes every day. Some might cause a Tsunami. In such a case it’s best to be aware of the perfect escape route.

Would that LIFE had such signs for us when we face “interesting” situations:

ESCAPE ROUTE
Do not pass GO
Enter here
EXIT ONLY
ONE WAY
TURN BACK

All too often I miss the “subtleties” of such signs.
