Breakdown Number One-Million

fluttering breath burns
throat like acid
hands shake with an 
indescribable violence 
trembling fingers peel
back the pages of
childish pocket bible  -- 
a pained groan, a
strained sob escapes
dry lips; ears pique
at the crackle of
the record player, 
eyes scan pages for 
wisdom like an 
addict, desperately
hungrily -
do not be anxious.
do not be anxious.
do not be anxious.
