Nervous Girl (Poem)

My embarrassment drops
to the pavement,
explodes in every new direction.
The pieces catch
in the early morning sun.
They'll stay there
on the street all day long.
My heart quickens,
stomach churns,
and dread wells up inside of me.
It seeps out my nose
mouth and eyes,
the tips of my fingers.
My every movement betrays.
