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 destination.
AWW, I have room.
I can breath! I am
safe for a few hours.
In too short a time
the rush of the too
small artery will begin
in the opposite direction.
Loved this one Shirley and especially the crowd being compared to blood attempting to flow through a too narrow artery.
Good choice of illustration too! x John

The bottlenecks of life are sent to try the day workers of the world. Crush of Rush-hour is amplified in Japan where you can get a man to cram you in so tight there's barely any light or air to suck into lungs so desparate to work they want to burst into a thousand drops of life. I enjoyed it lots, Ta muchly, Nick.

I agree, Shirley. Good analogy with the circulation
