I am afraid of being terrified Of something that cannot be tamed A horror at the thought of an otherworldly Partition between calm and anything else The terror terror points in several directions It's an off leash dog on a bike trail Putting two wheels between us in pinch A mind that won't listen to reason Something concerned with disconcert Confusion, contusions, physical extrusions Myths and realities mating for fun Shaking won't happen, but teeth clench overnight Deep breaths cannot disabuse waking sleep Wordiness without feeling Feeling without words Adding up to a less than one Don't remind me of the math
