Smart Fish
03/2010 Joshua Abelow

There are so many things
to be afraid of. You 
might be afraid of 
your own shadow.
Or, you might be afraid 
of the voices in your head 
telling you to do things, which 
you know might not be
such a good idea.
There's a voice in
my head that says
I should answer
the phone, but
I'm afraid of
who or what
might be
on the other end
of the line. I'm like
a fish that's too 
smart to take 
the bait.
