Entered The Serpent

My journey to see the dietitian.

Officials say

These subway cars

Will increase

The traffic flow.

As the mechanical

Silver snake arrives

At the subway station

Spewing forth passengers.

And yet

I find myself

Battling an anxiety attack

Paralyzing me

To the platform.

Letting three trains go

Due to crowding

And my anxiety

Before boarding.

Even then

It's a struggle

Not to turn around

And flee

To my apartment.

Just five stops away

From my destination

Of the dietitian's office.
