THE FLOOR IS YOUR FRIEND
The Anxiety Files: Appendix 1: Public Service Broadcast
In case of emergency.
When fears threaten faculty.
The floor is your friend.
Through ALL the mists of absurdity.
There is a constant shore-of-surety.
The floor is your friend.
Take a helping hand from gravity.
Crouch down and breathe steadily.
The floor is your friend.
Kneel, should you feel trembly.
Alarm reduces with connectivity.
The floor is your friend.
Close your eyes to reduce sensitivity.
Feel the wood, stone, tile with acuity.
The floor is your friend.
Soak in the glory of its solidity;
a tonic of stoic sensibility.
The floor is your friend.
Enjoy the respite from insanity.
Relax in edge-to-edge familiarity.
The floor is your friend.
The beneath-your-feet remedy:
Mother Nature's gift for stability.
The floor is your friend.
Cuddle into its enormity.
Become one with a planetary entity.
The floor is your friend.
Anchor to universal perpetuity.
No longer a singularity.
The floor is your friend.
Drift, a mere twitch inside an eternity.
A grain within a galaxy
The floor is your friend.
Feel the peace of enduring constancy.
And be.
Breathe.
Just be.
The floor is your friend.
