waiting for answers as you sit still
not wanting to scare off the possibilities
breathe so quietly and slowly, no one hears
you can hear your heart beat, and suppose
those in the next room behind the door
can hear your heart beating as well
you learn to relax and not make a sound
it is just how you were told to be
and you are the perfect one, good one
you begin counting the minutes
watching your watch to see how long it takes
perhaps you will make it happen sooner
you practice holding your breath
swing your feet, count the bricks beside you
nothing makes it come faster
answers do not come today, but perhaps soon
