Julie, Don't Be Afraid

Julie, don't be afraid
Because the darkness goes both ways
Though you cannot see
You can't be seen either

Learn how to use the darkness
Stay very still
And listen
And you'll hear the sounds
Of those who are afraid
Bumping around
Bumping into things
And shortly thereafter
Disappearing

But not you, Julie

You will stay very still
And you will not be afraid
And when the others have bumped
And disappeared
The things that they bumped into will say--

'Well, I suppose we got them all'

And they'll turn
And walk away
