Alex Mauer, "Panic (Monologue)" 

Panic is a weird state, not like
Wyoming is a weird state either;
panic will grab you, won't let you go.
Panic will make you do things you
might never do own your own- more
than love- or anger- or excitement;
panic- will drive you like a truck, and
God help whatever's in your way.
Panic- connects us to the animals-
panic is common- fire a gun in the
zoo- everyone will jump, even the
tigers; it's built in... It protects us-
it protects us from those things-
that would otherwise play our more
susceptible emotions against us;
right now- right now, I'm panicking.
