error: system online
AC broken,
fan on full blast,
yellow lights on
when I should be sound
asleep.
legs straight out, like
roads meeting a horizon.
they look
still,
like icy logs.
I wish my stagnation was
peaceful,
a forest under a blanket of snow.
Instead,
I am frozen
under unseen threat.
cortisol surges inside,
critters scuttling lively, fulfilling
their evolutionary purpose.

I love “legs straight out, like/roads meeting a horizon.”
I, too, love:
