Rick Moody
Avert Danger
            That is yet to come
 Oh, inner hero
 Windy conditions were experienced
                                  	Over Montana
 Severe thunder storm warnings
 What follows are a few stories: 			
                                   Everything went wrong
             Another friend left for vacation;
             A car crashed into her 
 Indeed, my life, too, had many difficulties
                                               	Including suicides
 Still, looking back, 
 We need to take dominion 				
                                                You, martyr or victim
 Dogwoods and lilacs, violets strewn underfoot
 All adrenaline, said our teacher
                                   Whose appendix was ruptured
 How can we know when our imagination truly communes?
             Fall in love with someone.
                         Sometimes the patterns are subtle.
                                     Sometimes he has seizures, though  these
                                                 Are unknown to movie  fans.
 It is time to pause and reflect—
                         The bright side of obsession is
                                                 Terminal adulthood. 
 That fine line between 
                                                             Persistence
 And
                         Stupidity.
