Crowded
And kept
Confined,
We're
Crammed
Causing
Calamity
Within me.
I cannot begin to
Comprehend
Most things about
People.

A plane
Filled with passengers
And my
Meter
Is
Perpetually
Running l o w . . .
My meter for:
Pretending,
Understanding,
Tolerating,

Being.

A car
With barely enough gas to
Get by.
Trudging
Along
One
Movement
At
A
Time.

Others pass by
Through an autobahn
Essentially unnoticed.
Their music
Blares.
Their lights
Beam.
Their horns
Boom.
Yet they're left
Behind me.
As I'm speeding
By.
