Notice of absence from Spencer Wilhelm
The Mennonites might be on to something...
I'll be taking one year off away from my devices to be with the Lord. Pray for me

There’s twenty people around,
But one could be a killer.
Must stay put, stand my ground;
Defend against the sinner.
But if I’m still, my eyes will sag,
And soon I’ll fall asleep.
But if I move, my legs will lag,
And I’ll be swept off my feet.
So either way I’m doomed, I’m done.
Might as well take a nap.
But staying awake is so much fun,
So here’s for another lap!

Dang! I seriously begin to wonder both whether we've similar professions, and after that, how many in my profession are in this genre and on this site. Lovely and prettily rendered with rather exceptional imagery, though it seems simple, with a charming poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
I took this two ways, someone afraid of being harmed and someone on the make looking for an affair. Tue dual meaning of lap as once more around the track and also someone's lap make this work well. A fun and most clever write.
Superb
