Written in a state of frustration on discovering the phrase 'have courage' on a fridge magnet at work.
Advice from Inanimate Objects
The fridge magnets tell me 'have courage'
but what do they know about that?
They live in a world that is plastic,
cliched and oppressively flat.
I wish that it could be so simple
I wish that advice was enough
but I thought I was brave till I knew you
and courage is slippery stuff.
The truth - though I cringe to admit it
- is courage is something I lack.
Though I thought to be lost in your kisses
I never quite dared to go back.
