Except it’s more
like a landslide.
Everything seems fine,
at first, you don’t
realise the world
is moving,
but as it speeds up
it catches you.
You scramble, try
to regain some control.
It’s too late.
It engulfs you,
presses in on all sides.
You can’t see,
can’t move,
can’t breathe.
But by then
it’s okay,
‘cause it’s easier
not to.
