boring anxiety
comes about
in a sneaky sort of way
humdrum tedious
monotonous and stale
anxiety creeps in
unnoticed undefined
an annoying underlying hum
starting at feet's’ soles
binding to head’s crown
it consumes the body
to the point of numbness
breathless and gasping
certain of impending death
but not really
it drops away in silence
leaving a writhing human form
constricted
bent at the middle
a crux of complicated bottom lines
reviewed in endless circles
ad nauseam
answerless and boring
