when it means pushing
the bureau across the bare floor
to jam the door shut hiding
behind the curtain cowering
beneath the chair between the legs
of someone bigger stronger
when we know the scary
inside is worse than
the whatever out there
can we open the windows
and take off our masks
just long enough to scream?
