Amygdala hijack – v4

His words incoherent, gibberish,
her face beet red, sweating,
decibels rising, quickly,
shouting, unrelenting panic,
a baby’s tiny, clenched fists…
 
Amygdala hijack, chaos,
in full flower, erupting,
no chance at compromise,
no possibility for agreement,
for another two hours, at least…
