Adrenaline

Emotion:
awaken shaken
blood in the eyes
hands in fists
... nausea,
urge to fly,

headache persists
war the norm
entire world shunned
communication, gunned ...

Into the pool surface
... he peers,
glimpses a normal world
just before it disappears ...
Adrenaline runs its course,
squinting in now bright light,
leaves him pondering its source.
