Ostrich Time

The news can make you paranoid 
So maybe it is best
To act the way an ostrich does
When it feels most distressed.

Just hide your head beneath the sand
(For us, a pillow works)
And make believe you’re unaware
That danger lately lurks.

For which is better - nervous
Or oblivious to be?
The outcomes may be equal but
I know what’s best for me.
