fight or flight

           how many timesmany times hed heard that expressionbemoaned  the countless times

his instinct was to fight 

flight wasnt in him

Fate

   ones death

a docile acceptance Jews in WWII Polish extermination camps although he refused to believe they submitted without violence

or a ferocious denial

                    the furious passion persistingrefusing to submit  no matter how overwhelming the odds

fight or acquiesce

stand

     or kneel

It shouldn’t be this way.

                          her words haunted him       

he couldnt bring himself to say No It shouldnt be this way   It shouldnt

But now that it is what are you going to do

he could see it in her eyes

he could see her fight flee

he desperately wanted to cry NO! No

but he didnt

           he wasnt she

he didnt want to disrespect her

he didnt understand

but it was not his to understand

eventually

         hed have his turn

its easy when he wasnt staring down the barrel of the gun

hed stare fixate

               maybe it wouldnt notice him opening his straight razorsee the splash and smear of its hot blood in his eyes
