So I Dream

I'm available--
exposed.
Caught in the crossfire
of handshakes and smiles. 
The smoke grips my lungs.

I cannot oblige. 
I will not oblige. 

So I dream.
I elope with restlessness
into the fluid incubator.
I build my own prison
where I can be free.

This is a poem about escaping into my mind when I am in uncomfortable social situations. Hopefully I have conveyed this effectively.
