it that seems you fear
being away for too long
would cause the earth to stop moving.
but more so,
the world would move on without you
leave you behind
forget about you
and change when your back is turned,
like a coward.
as if, in a few days
you would change your mind,
change everything about yourself
or you would forget something important
about your life
that doesn't apply anymore
you've discovered
you only fear what is impractical,
yet face danger
head on.
you realize
you don't need to lay yourself out
gleaming clean
vacuum sealed, laminated,
set out, ABCs
for people to see
because here
you are a human geyser
gushing your guts out
so someone can maybe
figure you out
you know, now
you're afraid to be forgotten,
and that's maybe your biggest
fear.
