The horses are restless
the dogs run about
the birds all a flutter    

what was it

the children are screaming
and laughing so loud
the cars and the busses
the usual fusses and bangs    

how so

I don't know any more
my minds in a turmoil was that it    

or not

my own psychological state
goings on in my pate
or is it too late to address it

this stress I am feeling
in hurried state running
from what    

I know not.
