Chemicals and compounds compressed
Into a swirling mire and brimstone
Upset stomachs and headaches --
May be volatile if combined with other
Solutions
Contents under pressure
May be prone to explosions of
Half-remembered equations and
Pseudocode gone awry
Bits of grammar forgotten and
Ever-present insecurities
Not water soluble
Contents will not settle even if
Held tightly
Nervous twitches and anxious smiles
Hide trembling fingers warding off
Menacingly approaching deadlines
Unease, as something wicked this way comes
Bottling stress is so useless
When glass is so easily shattered
