mri
are you claustrophobic he asked
uhm, I guess, I answered
aren't we all i thought
they say don't look down when climbing
and don't open your eyes when having an mri
i didn't listen
I opened my eyes
and the roof of the machine
was centimetres above my face
jolted into a state of near panic
i dutifully closed my eyes
for the next 20 mins
that's why many need sedation
should've said yes to the drugs
loud banging and thudding
like being inside a washing machine
lying completely still
in this coffin like device
tried to think about open spaces
imagined running in a field
or rather the movie version of it
I haven't ran in a field before
always appears idyllic
