Fear is valuable

Poetry | Kathryn Mockler

Geese

What can be done about all the loudmouths?

What can be done about the Canadian geese—

so they don’t smell my fear when I walk by?

Don’t stare a goose in the eye. And when you 

pass don’t turn around to see if he is following

you because if he‘s not, he will start. He will

make a point of it because Canadian geese

know that above all else—fear is valuable.
