Dizzy, spinning, a constant ringing in my ear

The sound of talking is incapacitating

My pants bind me to my chair – hands wrapping around my wrists confining me further

The clock is broken or moving so slow – I'm a computer glitching; incoherent thoughts, incoherent feelings that shake my brain like an earthquake

My body transitions between moving so slow seconds become hours and so fast hours become seconds

         How can I be funny

                                                                    "Did you hear-"

         How can I be good enough

                                                                     "Are you even listening?"

Don't talk

Don't talk

If you talk-

Don't talk

Just let the loudness consume you
