Don't be afraid that life has open jaws.
It does,
but don't be afraid. But if you must be afraid,
for heaven's sake don't show it.
Not to yourself. Definitely not to life.
If you do, life
will gobble you up.
Don't be unnerved
that life has no face.
It doesn't,
but don't let that unnerve you. It's better this way,
that it has no eyes,
no mouth, no ears, no nose.
The better to sneak by unnoticed,
don't you think?
