Trip

Some old sayings are foolishness.
Some small snakes are venomous.
Some threats are imminent.
You cannot always raise your feet
Above all obvious tripwiring.

She smiled underneath her blonde fringe.
"I like them cuter than you
Most nights and evenings."
I felt the tension
Taut beneath my shoe,
The cringe.
I knew the blast awaiting
Once I stepped away
Toward her.
