do not approach me before i’ve had my coffee that’s what it should say
some heed the warning some proceed with caution; some take it as a dare
caution, you’ve been warned if you cross that line; proceed and you’re on your own
sometimes the warning seems more motivated by self preservation
the invitation may seem warm and welcoming proceed with caution
sometimes the warning is too late, we’ve already gotten our feet wet
the sound of cracking that accompanies each step should not be ignored
everything moves more slowly, opening up time for reflection
