Pressure

I felt the need to write about pressure since I was feeling it and I hope you relate to it.

Pressure
Will you be so kind as to
freeze--
Cryogenically freeze--
a melting rubber band?
Look at its quirky folds and
compare it to the pressure grooves
on my face.

pressure
BUILDING
UP
WELLING UP
CAN'T STOP!

Or subsequently experiment
shaking--
excessively shaking--
the tipsy contents of a coke can?
Feel its pressure 'gainst your skin,
Experience what I am feeling
RIGHT NOW!

News FLASH (flash, FLASH, flash):
Volcano erupting, evacuate!

BUILDING

WELLING UP
CAN'T STOP!

NOT NOW
GET AWAY
LET ME BE
YOU WILL PAY!

Trapped by pressure
Stumped by fear
Pressure relieve
or DISSIPATE!!
