Hustle-Bustle

people nestle

all their fears

in one big circle

dangle one foot

then the other

feel it spiral

in your belly

one big ball

of Mangle-Tangle

eat a sandwich

eat another

feel it settle

and unsettle

in your belly

like an eagle

flying low

in sweeping circles.

Colours moving

sitting standing

speaking sleeping

all these voices 

mixed expanding

hurried choices

money changing

hands, exchanging,

planes departing

later landing

lines are forming

then dispersing

sit down

strap up

keep your legs close

feel a pressure

and it’s lift-off.

Then the void

thin air expanding

smoothly gliding

sounds like humming

near the heavens

clouds become you

you become clouds

Ping! lights flash on

drink your coffee

never ending

ceaseless movement

all this makes me

want to STOP.
