Day 4:
the brown bull
dropped its head
ready to charge
I felt surely in my
soul I was about to
witness Boo Radley
being trampled
and killed
because
though he is small
he is tenacious
ten times the size
of that monstrous bull
in his inflated mind
what happened next
was a viral Tik Tok
never to be seen
except in my own memory reel
Boo Radley
charged the bull
zigzagging
cutting left to right
back and forth
front paws
low to the ground
cussing the bull
for all he was worth
edging up to the bull
its dropped head
meaning nothing to Boo
from the corner
of the house
I could see
its nostrils flare
I covered my eyes
and peeked through
two fingers


Great way to put us into the whole scene. Go Boo!

Oh, Kim. How exciting. I’ve gotten behind on the serial. Boo is so brave! (Or dumb!)
I have a few of these moments in my life” where I saw something and just remember the details, wishing I could have captured a photo or video, but I couldn’t. It’s a lasting picture in the “memory reel” in my mind, though.

Thank you, Denise! He has a blend of his dumb days and his courageous days. Mostly I think it’s sheer luck he escapes misfortunes. Ha! Thanks for reading!
