Breathe

In for four

Hold for seven

Out for eight

 

Watch the roses outside

The overwhelming red turn beautiful

 

In for four 

Hold for seven

Out for eight

 

Watch the rain outside trickle down the window

And bet on which drop will win

 

In for four

Hold for seven

Out for eight

 

Listen to the humming distraction of the boy across from you

Try to hum along 

 

In for four

Hold for seven

Out for eight

 

Finally look back down at your paper

Calmly answer the question

 

In for four

Hold for seven

Out or eight
