Panic in Pandemic

Sitting at the traffic light, coming home from the store.

Took a bite of a cider donut.

In moments, my throat tightens, my stomach churns and my breath is lost.

I hold my breath, terrified that there are no more to come.

I wonder where the closest ambulance is and if I will make it there in time.

Do I have allergy medicine, do I need allergy medicine?

Is this a panic attack?

Is this a symptom of Covid?

Do I have Covid?

Am I going to die?

Panic in pandemic, pandemic making panic?
