Shock

The news
Blasted us against each other
As effectively as plastic explosive.
Sweat, scent, the wrenched tight look
As delicate handkerchiefs
Squeezed pale from the grasp
Of elderly women. I thought of icing
Gasping from the applicator.
You, a stranger, unsteady like the rest
As the bus waited at the light.
Static.
Switched.
I felt the charged exhilaration
That brinks to combat
Panic,
Fear,
The anxious moment
Passing,
Then shocked again
By eyes' want.
