Hunker down
Batten down the hatches
And button up the fort.
A warrior of the Defense-
wrapped up and held tight.
A warrior of Stillness-
Quiet and patient.
(Really patient.
Patient like death and trees are patient.
Patient like crazy men are patient.)
That little new growth is no game of cards or a laugh over old jokes, Dollfaces.
You got to do that first.
That is no joke.
That is square one.
No joke.
Start small.
Start small and grow from there.
