Pressurized Senses
February 19, 2015
Finger tapping and voices
Rumours of incompetence;
Blasphemy standards.
Sharp eyes, papers, pens
Precarious ink records
Numbers and letters
Tinny aftertaste
Saline fear in salty waves
Predecessors’ tears
Ink and fresh printouts
The sour breath of thousands, cramped
A curdling odour
Ears pop, blood rushes
Success? Failure? Take your pick
Uncertainty and nerves
