Claustrophobia
Faces changing
Duplicating
An attack on my senses
Gone are my defenses.
People moving
Gravitating

Take its spiritual toll.

a speeding train that makes me move more slowly
the longer the journey takes
sometimes at a snail’s pace
towards a final stop where I get off
and out
and gone
forever

The space is retreating,
It stops your heart beating,
Room starts swimming,
Constricting air thinning.
Can't help feeling sickly,
I need to get out quickly,
It constricts your chest
Lead weight thermal vest.
Sweat covers my brow,
Need to get...

The City
I am on a crowded
city sidewalk,
the crowd sgueezes,
shoves and pushes.
Like blood through
a too small artery.
Claustrophobia threatens
to swallow me.
A small opening appears,
I rush to it. But it quickly
fills in and once again,
the crowd squeezes, shoves
and pushes.
I reach my desti...
