While She Slept...

While She Slept...

A Poem by Ruby Lohne

"
Run? No, too strong.
Fight or flight?
I don't know.
Fight or flight?
I don't know.
Fight or flight?
i DON'T KNOW!
Fine. Stay.
I am a failure.

Don't get caught,
keep quiet.
It's okay.
Everything is fine-
specimen is responding as predicted.
Stay silent.

Zzzzzz...
You stayed quiet?
You cannot fool me,
I am betrayed.
