Description
Like a victimOf nausea who
Can't take any
More motion,
As the ship
Rocks,
Back and forth
Back and forth,
Over the rolling
Waves of the sea
Wishy-washy
Movements
Under unsteady feet,
A water-bed surface
Giving way slightly
And pushing back up
From beneath
A shaky feeling
Beneath wobbling legs,
Unable to stand
Much longer
Rigid arms connected
To vice-like hands
Gripping a steady surface
For safety
Strenuous tension
Inside and out,
In a metal box of terror
Praying to be let out

Ugh, I hate elevators, especially the glass ones! They make me nauseous!

Yeah, I don't like them either. Actually, I don't mind the glass elevators (as long as they aren't glass on the bottom) because I can see where I'm going and that nothing is wrong. I don't like the feeling of being in a box and not being able to see the other things around me. I don't know how to describe it.....fear of the unknown is the only thing that comes to mind......?

Oh no, I get that, too...I mean, I get vertigo in the glass elevators and I can just not look, but I prefer them to being boxed in...whenever an elevator makes a noise (ie, when it MOVES), I always think we're going to drop like in the Tower of Terror. XD

You'd really hate the elevators in the dorms here! The ones in Calhoun (thank God I don't live in that dorm) jerk!

I'd probably give myself a heart attack worrying about it. x)

Yeah, it's really scary.....I don't like them......and I thought the fan that circulates the air in the elevator was going to fall out of one in Siddall the other day! It was making a lot of scary noises......
