it doesn't stop
it keeps coming
and coming
and coming
careening
down
the steep grade
like a
oil truck with
no brakes
it makes you hold tight
leaving fingerprints
in the moulded plastic
door handles
it curls your toes
it makes your face
a ghostly shade of ashe
it makes your adrenals pump hard
so hard
they want to
explode
and then you slow and
the heart starts to slow
and the adrenals stop pumping
but it never stops
soon
the just-waiting-to-blow-up
oil truck will
reach another
mountain
and careen
down
fast
and nearly
out of control
whether
you are ready
or not
