Therefore "Trigger Warning"

I'm not talking about this or that
gender or political fine-cut dice
No, I’m talking about something
far more primal, elemental and
(obligatory) objective. So some
say "not nice." Objective, therefore
inevitably to some: objectionable.

Therefore “trigger warning.” If
you have a problem with some guy
strolling bold through reality’s meadows
picking rank weeds and wildflowers,
calling them equally beautiful (in the
olfactory and visual senses - important),
and proceeding to a thorough ardor
in naming of parts and identification
of flat, pat, that’s-that features, if things
like that pet you in the peeves, skeeve
you in the triggers and otherwise cause
you to react in a way you may later call

“over,” - WATCH IT. Just such stuff like
that truths* ahead on strut mode.

*Not “lies.” Truths.

Immediately following the preceeding
and aforementioned warning. Proceed, 
therefore, at your horrified risk
and forewarned, forearmed, educated
titillation or perhaps 

not at all

either way 

step small
