Anxiety

Will everything just take off
or is it a false start
repeated

Squeezing in
for the molecular build-up
Tightening the seams
before a critical fallout
Save it I say
from a critical fallout

Seams are tight
but the energy is explosive
Let's play rocket
and put the meters in the red zone
with panic
Let's play doctor
and stitch the wounds
with anxiety

I know you probably don't want to
and neither do I
But I must be found
as a bullet in the chamber
cocked back
like a syringe full of exclamation
