#45 (earthquake)

my legs believe there is an earthquake
they shake under the desk as I try to take notes
and make my handwriting travel back to fourth grade

my hands believe I am on stage
sitting across the table from my date
and make eating with chopsticks an Olympic sport

my mind believes I am crazy
and tells me to walk in front of a car
and that I am alone.

~breathe~

bodies fail.
they misinterpret signals.
the brain is just another organ
and sometimes
it lies.
