Go ahead

and explode.

Then feel embarrassed

and collect yourself.

Soon, or later on,

self check in

and save face and feel less guilt

by explaining what happened.

Then

get back to carefully walking towards

the Main Point over there,

walking patiently through many

bombs, primed and ready

to explode,

loaded with emotions

and weak critical thinking

waiting to be stepped on

again.
