Comfort zone


My shoe-box has a hole in the side of it.

A look, a shiver

Right, left, straight ahead

A pause, a quiver

 

My shoe-box has a hole in the side of it.

A toe pokes out

Silence in the pause

A movement is about

 

My shoe-box has a hole in the side of it.

Eyes dart fast

Heavy is the panic

Will the hold last

 

My shoe-box has a hole in the side of it.

Fight of flight

The will is confused

Darting into the light

 

My shoe-box has a hole in the side of it,

It is My shoe-box no more.
