The Hyraulic Pressure of Steam

What does it take to make blood boil
inside veins.
Is it me,
breaking the sound barrier?
Is it you,
breaking bonds or
breaking a sweat?
Break routine!
I want to be pressurized.
I want to hear the kettle scream.
I don't want to be famous
or observed.
What is "awkwardly aimless"?
Why can't you be
more reserved?

What does it take to make blood boil
inside veins?
Is it me,
in free-fall.
Is it hyperventilation?
Or is it you?
Finding a clearing
is tough.
Find me a cure-all.
Find a mind your own.
I want to be seething.
I want to hear the whistle get blown.
I don't practice good evening,
toothpick propped my eyelids.
I want to be seething,
while steam breathes through my iris.
