PANIC

01 

Everyone says

There is a panic button. 

I don't think

It's that easy for 

Hope to dissolve like a solute. 

I hope

It refreezes when

We realize

It's easier to 

Never panic in the first place. 


02 

When panic is given like a gift

—or precipitation—

We assume it

Can be taken back. 

So that we're allowed to

Still feel it. 

We don't need permission to 

Feel, 

But we do to

Give and 

Take.
