I learned from the female dragonfly
That when a male dragonfly gets sexually aggressive
And she fears he will assault her
She falls to the ground
Her body sprawled,
Fakes her death
The male dragonfly leaves her alone
She springs back to life and runs away

Maybe I should fake my death
Next time a guy advances on me
Maybe I should practice from now
I have a feeling, it is going to happen again
