submitting to the lash

maybe science can tell us something of ourselves?

In 7th grade we took

some personality tests

- they were intriguing.

I’m a hustler

- the very opposite of a

procrastinator.

I take on future

projects early, impatient

to sandpaper issues.

It’s calming to

know why I stress - it helps me

navigate my fears.

While my friends are panicked

that SAT testing time is here

- I did mine last year.

It’s easier

to submit to the lash if

we know what drives it.
