tap counter twice

touch the brass bell

straighten the shelf

pen with no cap

into the trash abomination

panic rises

not obsessive

nor compulsive

just need order in the universe of chaos

only walk on the white squares when entering

black on the way out

i can feel the pressure mounting in my head

my chest tighten

something is off

did i turn off the oven

why am i here

i don’t know what it is but it is wrong

ring the bell, once twice three times

weight on left foot

weight on right

standing on the white square

don’t curl up in a ball

this is fine

it is all fine

it’s in your head

black squares only

no cracks

red car black car bus
