hyperventilation is a grim taskmaster
frustration is its foreplay
but you don't recognize it . . .
there are no warnings
no flashing bright lights that scream
look out! look out! danger! danger!
it creeps upon you like a deadly anaconda
wrapping its coils around you
slowly making it difficult to breathe
much too late you realize
you're suffocating
as you are deep into the death throes
you try to trace down this hyperventilation
from whence it came
an easy task
it was there all along
you knew it
you just decided to look the other way
meanwhile the anaconda keeps on constricting

You must be fine, as you have written about it with such vividness that I almost gasped and reached for air! Scary yes!

Wishing you well in keeping the anaconda quiet!

Love,
Margherita

There never is a paper bag around when you need one, Lori, besides, do they even still make the darn things. Thanks for the advice . . .

"meanwhile the anaconda keeps on constricting"

This is a great write, but a bad situation.
Hope all is well.

Everything is good. Just had one of those "kind of days" when I wrote that. I'm good, JL, and thank you for commenting on the poem and asking about my well-being.
