fear

i, along with many others, live with a complex web of fears.
a fear of failure.
a fear of heights.
a fear of clowns dressed as squirrels.
a fear of lifts.
a fear of commitment.
a fear of loneliness.
a fear of drowning.
a fear of being buried alive.
a fear of fire (martian manhunter suffered from that as well).
a fear of following through when farting.
a fear of flying.
a fear of appearing naked in the street.
a fear of watching x-factor.
i am sure all these fears have names and therapists who will happily drain the cash out of pockets and accounts as they provide a ‘cure’.
i am not sure that they can help with my new fear.
i fear that i might turn into a daily mail reader, even worse one who writes on their message boards and accuses them of being liberal.

if it ever happens you have my permission to shoot me. i fear that is the only cure.
