Trapped in a State of Alert
sick with alert,
slimy and crawling.
a spider of plague
that dwells near bawling.
stop the voices—
the yelling and calling.
but even silence is loud;
such alert is too much a crowd.
slimy and crawling.
a spider of plague
that dwells near bawling.
stop the voices—
the yelling and calling.
but even silence is loud;
such alert is too much a crowd.

It is as if there's this sense of loss of control that came across the mood in this poetic expression
