Panicking, running out of time. Rodents run in a wheel that spins around and round. Caving in, claustrophobia. Gravity draws me slowly in. Feel the jaws closing on my neck. Oh, it's so very hot, so very hot in here. Not one regret, no want, no need. Reach out my arms and I embrace my yellow queen. Sky opens high and swallows me whole.
