first and foremost
be yourself
by all means
pull teeth if you’re a dentist
but if you discover
halfway through a procedure
that your patient has become a lion
drop the tools and run
you are no lion tamer
don’t be tempted
by the story of Androcles
into believing that the lion will love you
because you eased his pain
his hunger is always
greater than his pain
if you repair his smile
all you’ll get
is better bitten
