I saw a lizard, and it saw wild fear
I took two steps back, lizard took too many
I wanted him out, but he could only go within
Going across, around, felt somehow bound
I wanted to ease the unease I saw
But the steps forward to help, made him more restless
He was trapped, he knew and I did too
I kept a newspaper angled to his escape but no exit happened while I stared
So the only way to help, I shut the lights off and went in my room
Came ten minutes later, lizard nowhere to be seen
Nobody knows where he currently is,
I just don't want to be the fear someone feels.
