my chest was heavy
it felt like the floating ribs had fallen in
caved
the coronary disease setting, closing
in on my choking central muscle
as cells turn to foam turn to sclerotic clot
but this time it wasn't the world weighing down
it was just me
my slouch, my posture, my stance
i'd been working for someone else
someone i had imagined
someone who doesn't even exist
i hadn't blasted my favourite music in months
i got up out of my chair and stretched
just coz
i'm so glad i realised before it was too late
