Paranoia Strikes Deep

...the cruelest of human afflictions.
Snaking its way to the pocket of that familiar flannel
Until the warm fabric freezes over, unusable.

I realized there was no destination; I was simply running,
my bare thighs raw.
Then that cold, again.
Stripping the fiery October evening of its life and charm,
transforming it into a vivid nightmare of echoes and thumps.

I need to go home.
