People who study volcanos
go close to volcanos
and the friendly red volcanos
don't bite them.
But then their car is stolen.
A teenager loving surfing
and the ocean
is attacked by a shark
and ends up in hospital.
Why do we get hurt sometimes
doing that which we love?
While safety found in boring pursuits.
My mother had a mean cat
who scratched only those who loved it.
I ignored the cat always
so was never bruised by him.
But alas a beloved hairdresser
ruined my hair.
