stress

my brain is buzzing
and shooting off particles
at a million rpm.
I can't keep up with this
madness.
the world seems to be going
in slow
and fast
and medium
motion.
but my brain is no longer tethered
to the planetary rotation
as it should be.
instead, I belong to
a vortex
of deadlines
and obligations
and commitments.
swirling, on and
on, and the
cycle
never once
stops.
