A certain kind
             of mimosa is of
              delicate design.

            If you brush
            against it,
             It will close.

            And stay that way
             Till danger
             is past.

            Some people
           are this way
            with very fragile emotions.

            What may come from
             our mouths may
             penetrate them.

             The sage says
              that even not to
              hurt another
              Is a good life.
