The Crowded City Sidewalk

I am on a crowded
city sidewalk,
the crowd squeezes,
shoves and pushes.
Like blood through
a too small artery.
Claustrophobia threatens
to swallow me.
A small opening appears, I
rush to it. But it quickly
fills in and once again,
the crowd squeezes, shoves
and pushes.
I reach my destination.
AWW, I have room. I
can breath! I am
safe for a few hours.
In too short a time
the rush of the too
small artery will begin
in the opposite direction.
