Sometimes I do feel
like life dresses up
as the big bad
wolf from nursery rhymes
dropping little crumbs of
hope leading me down
one path and onto
another to snatch me
I could I have
yelled help as I’m
being eaten alive but
it was I and
never ever the wolf
who decided to gobble
down every delicious morsel
for if the wolf
was really that hungry
and just like life
not really needing me
it’d eaten its own
breadcrumbs leaving me alone
oh that wily wolf
