Stress can present us with a present,
change a verb to a noun,
or an opportunity to a minefield.
It can help us contest a contest,
or paralyse us with fear.
It can excuse an excuse,
or make a career a prison.
Stress teaches us to pronounce Perdita
And to feel lost.
Stress teaches us to pronounce life
With a fearful accent.
