“Frenzy”

“Hey Scallywag ‘ Varmint’” ©️C.P. Hickey 2020

“Frenzy”

What is this waking hurry?

Ripped from tender slumber

Cold water and steam

Socks blue or black?

Transit app announcing bus arrival

One minute

Shit!

Did I lock the door?

Overcrowded system

Cologne and unwashed essences

Compact anxiety

Headed to death

One delay at a time
