How it feels when you begin to drown and panic.
"Don't Panic" 6.26.07

The walls are closing in
The water slowly rising...
Don't Panic.
The doors shut hard,
Locked,
Barred,
Don't Panic.
Oxygen to brain, lacking
Carbon dioxide, increasing
Motor functions, dying
Don't Panic.
Water rising, rising up
To your knees,
To your hips,
To your chest,
To your neck…
Don't Panic.
Adrenaline, running
Don't Panic.
Floating, floating, floating
In a sea of haziness,
Darkest before daybreak,
Don't,
Don't do it,
Don't,
Don't...

Panic.
