Lost & Found

Navigating the street like mice stuck in a maze,
hundreds of feet pound hot pavement.
Sensory overload jumbles the mind, leaving her crazed,
while fabric clenches too tightly around her neck.

Overwhelmed and on the brink of panic
she spots salvation on the corner and scurries
toward wrought iron rails and brightly lit signs
that leads her down into the New York underground.
