It's been just a few days
and It's clear to see
everything has changed
takes my breath away
how we run so fast
without really ever stopping
I can't get over that.

Things seem fine
they are, really
but I don't think holding your
breath
is a good way to work
under all the pressure
you could get the bends
and that's no good.

I see the passive here
they move nowhere
like falling down an escalator
you have to move
breathe, react
action
is the only way to stay alive here.

Very good - especially the "falling down the escalator" imagery.
