Here is a break

Rest,
two full breaths in and out.

Sometimes I hyperventilate.

Sometimes I hold an ice pack to my chest—
freeze out feeling,

numb up.

In freshman lab,
when we the experiment was over
we had to put down the bugs that
sacrificed body for our experiment.

Put them in the freezer
until they went to sleep.

I hold the ice pack and breath.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.
