Thanks j...been rattling this around a bit too much and with such a heavy hand that I certainly smothered it. Stripped it way back down to initial sentiment refraining from trying to explain it

I saw this as jerk... I mean... uh... self liberation.
But I see everything as that.
(Because I'm a pre-vert.)
Actually, upon third, fourth, 30th readings, I dig it. And by reading 38, I was giggling.
Reads like a Leonard Cohen piece. NICE!

Quick
help me to evacuate
for I fear I may soon feel myself well
open question: the "soon" in third line, is it helpful, not helpful, or inconsequential?...seems silly,but ive genuinely been tripping on wether it should be there or not

In my opinion, it could go either way depending on your observation in the use of the word. If you omit the use of "soon" it will not harm the integrity of the poem.
"For I may soon fear myself well"
could have been another way of incorporating its use; just lending my 2-sense, hope you didn't mind. And, oh yes, I loved your piece;)

The answer is: Yes.
It is inconsequential, but leaving it as is or taking it out does change it.
You have to decide if you want to say it in that tone. In that way.

I think it looks cooler like that. More like a step.
But it also becomes more definitive without the ambiguous time.
Then again... I really, really like the way it reads like the Road Runner is zooming by, holding a placard with a poem on it...
