Analysis of Panic in the Narrow Street
Dianne Dupire 1964 (Pittsburg,CA)
I don't fit here
I don't fit anywhere
Is this the magic of it
Being incognito
And standing out
Dancing on coals
Running on ice
Anxiety is always on
I've been in utero too long
Why is there fear
Painfully shy of what
Hear my allostasis
See me allow static in
If I ever give myself
Permission to
Balance won't survive
