Just a little nervous breakdown

I will sit on my hands,
it will stop them shaking.
Perhaps no one will notice.
People talk.
I hear the words,
I know what they all mean.
Seperately.
Together they are meaningless.
Just noise.
I try and find a meaning .
The conversation moves.
I am left  floundering in past sounds,
echoes of words .
Just noise.
I must be still,still ,still,
and silent.
I will make the world stop
Every thing hurts to much.
I will sit on my hands,
it will stop them shaking.

arthur, I never would have guessed, that someone that owned that particular [edit] motorcar, would be nervous about anything.

Oh! I've been remiss (dueling windmills). Sterling MG old man!

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

A shaky write
with a clear-eyed view,
arthur.

I'm always glad when you post here.
