the hallway is
packed tightly. sardines
swimming to our destination.
it's hard for me to breathe
as i look at the thousands
of you and wonder if
you also feel the weight
of everything crushing your
bones and spirit. i know i
can't be the only one
who feels like this.
would i rather be an
individual? or blend in
with you and you and
you?  is it better to
exist without resistance
or learn to resist it?
