a possible cure for agoraphobia

I find myself always moving forward
today my sankalpa is
"I am never going anywhere"
for suffering in the body is forward movement
bliss in the body is stillness

when my mind moves me forward
i stop to watch my mind moving
and we cease

we are never going anywhere

i watch the folds of a brown table cloth
with a paisley pattern
listen to crickets and thunder and the hum of the fan
feel my back hurt, my stomach tighen in breathing

only this
