Stampede You are the product of a stampede Of boots and uneven trampling Of jostling and slipping And mashed up sweaty bodies slithering. Of time getting bashed up, and torn Flung aside, like in a violent crash When tar thrashed your flesh and bone As you lay drooling beat up and au mash. The thing is. That. When a stampede is happening With you in the eye, you hear and see Flashes of lashing rains somehow En you’re pulped up, yes, but it’s wow. (Lee Krasner, Polar Stampede, 1960)

They sicken of the calm, who knew the storm. (Fair Weather, Dorothy Parker)
