Are you trying to make me Metrophobic with this piece, I shall pretend that it was a beautiful piece of Prose.

This is a really interesting topic and could make a good poem
if you thought about it and structured it more carefully, leading to a point, as you almost did with Panophobia and Phobophobia
I have arachybutyrophobia- the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of my mouth and choking me.
