jumpy

you feel jumpy.
nervous.
maybe it's the coffee,
or the weather.
the news. but
you're on edge.
that door that just banged
shut
makes you flinch.
the mail
dropping through
the slot
causes you to look
over
in fear.
that tea kettle whistling,
the bird
on the feeder
angrily eating,
everything seems out
of order,
and yet nothing's
wrong.
you just feel jumpy.
