It's warm here, not just hot, burning, I think, my stomache feels, turning. How do I get out, where, why, does no one else care? My head is glowing, fingers dripping sweat. My intestines are tripping over all and themselves. Deeper and deeper, as if this fire delves a way inside my body, spreading like disease, like virus, like epidemic forces combining us to fight. These short moments brought back sight to those who lost it, those scared at night. But it will pass soon enough.

It's warm here, not just hot, burning, I think, my stomache feels, turning. How do I get out, where, why, does no one else care? My head is glowing, fingers dripping sweat. My intestines are tripping over all and themselves. Deeper and deeper, as if this fire delves a way inside my body, spreading like disease, like virus, like epidemic forces combining us to fight. These short moments brought back sight to those who lost it, those scared at night. But it will pass soon enough.
I over and under but I'm never really right.
