stay calm, breathe

how do we handle
traffic,
the long line, the loss
of power,
the middle seats in
life.
the small inconveniences
like rain
when you wanted sun,
a broken lace,
a loose thread,
someone forgetting your
name,
taking your space,
wrongly thinking that you
are to blame.
how do we overcome these slights?
we don't,
we exhale and move on
without a thought
to what they may or may
not mean.
move on, stay calm.
breathe.
