I got cold feet from poor circulation,
so, frequently I have to rub heat
back into my frigid feet.

Sometimes, I get this tingling sensation.
Plus, there is a slight tight pain
that starts in my upper right
center chest.

It seems to be an expression
of a once latent
but now blooming anxiety,
inching ever closer to
that heart attack variety
of human suffering.

It used to be a rarity
now it seems, at least
a weekly event for me.

Ironically, when I worry
it gets worse
and of course
I worry when it hurts
so, it hurts more often
as the week progresses.

Now it has spread to the left
side of my chest.
