in the stance
in the posture
in a bulging
of the eyes
in the veins
in the breathing
in the rapidness
of the pacing
in the tone
in the volume
in the words
polluting the air
in the clench
in the knuckle
in the sudden disappearance
of distance
in the defiance
in the roar
in the foaming flecks
at the corner of the mouth
in the beat
in the rate
in the throat sensation
of a leaping heart
in the exhaustion
in the tremble
in the sense of
oh
oh my god
oh oh

Surreal indeed - very Dahliesque - great work Frank.
Hi Michael. A nasty incident at work. Surreal as buggery, if you'll excuse the french.
Glad it translates onto the page ok.
Thank you.
Thanks for that bit of info - the poem makes great sense and this throws a new light on it - like it even more now.
What's going on there? Will I swoon if you tell me?! heehee.
Hiya O. A near physical assault. Lots of aggression, fist-in-face.
I nearly swooned. Yes, indeed.
Ahh, someone having a bad hair-day? A tad upset?! Erm, I've dampened down the emotion in this like a wet blanket! lol.
I work as a psychiatric nurse, O. Sometimes it gets a bit grim. Not usually.
A psychiatric nurse, in a world going mad! There must be a long line at your door, Frank. I don't envy you, but do admire you. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
You're welcome Louis, and your summation is apt. Glad you enjoyed.
Frank, I did need to read the comments to understand the poem. So well written! Love the structure too!
Thank you Fred. Grim moments translate well to poetry, I think.
Glad you enjoyed the peice.
