#43 - Young Birds


How do you come up with questions so fast?

Don't you need to think

Plan

Anticipate

Preempt

Assume

Guess

Second guess

Reject

Filter

Censor

And if you cross these stages and get it out

Doesn't your heart beat faster

Palm sweat

Voice shake

Face turn red

Don't you feel that fear

Not of anyone

Or anything anyone might say

But of just being wrong

Of letting things out and not being right

Of losing control

Ownership

Of your own thoughts

Will they ring hollow heard out loud

Will they seem shallow hanging in the air

Like young birds pushed out of their nest too early

Will they fall,

A victim to their premature release?

Or will they figure out a way to fly?
