An Encounter
Just stepped out my front door
into the early morning darkness
almost stumbling over an armadillo
on the dark shadowed walk.
It waddled away in its primeval armor
and I watched myself stop abruptly
and let out a soft cry
hands clutched tight to my neck.
This is what fear looks like.

Yes they are scary!
The unexpected is so very scary!
I couldnt believe it when I heard they had come this far into Kentucky.
This happened in Florida
I have seen “Rango.” I am prepared.
