Nutcase

Fear is the ground
shaking beneath your feet,
in a rainforest where the water
puddles are swamps that tremble
like they swallowed a tsunami.
You swallowed your tongue so
now your choking off the words
stuck in your throat.
Every step feels like its on your
heart, your heartbeat feels like
its going to break out of your rib cage.
T-Rex is the first thing that pops in mind;
Sasquatch is the second.
Your knees feel like they’re
going to snap any second now.
Until the bushes rustle and what
you thought was a bloodthirsty monster,
ends up being just a squirrel chasing a nut.

Now is when your suppose to laugh.
