The Hamlet Project

Strap on the mental claws. Quill yourself out like a porcupine –
Sharp and pointed things can spring out of you, like a gear landing into place.
At every joint, a weapon –
So that any movement creates distance, creates a wider and wider perimeter.
If you must –
Build a barbed wire fence in a circle where you stand, electrifying it for extra protection
But be careful it doesn’t trap you beyond the moment
When the danger has passed.
