The pressure builds and builds
until I've ballooned so big
that a piece of me jostles loose
and begins
floating
off.
I
leap
after it, aghast,
and clutch it firmly to my chest.
Only when I go to place it
back in its rightful spot
do I notice
other remnants gone
missing, floating
wayward.
Gasping, rushing to catch them
all before I'm completely lost,
I hurriedly put them back
and rush to grab more.
Only after securing the last piece
do I realize
that in my haphazard haste
I've put myself together
all wrong.
