It started at the beginning.

Irritated.

Standing on end.

Brushy.

Bottle brush.

Roughshod.

Praying to God.

Regret.

Searching for peace.

Pulling back.

Overcorrected.

Seesaw over dynamite.

Gotta get it right.

Balance found.

Homeostasis.

Do not move.

Not a muscle.

Until pushed off balance again.
