Three

I've been panicking lately.

Not the kind of panic that has reason

But a panic that stems from nothing

or maybe something undefined.

I've been worrying lately.

Not the kind of worry that is logical

but a worry that is scattered

and splattered without lines.

I can't makes sense of it because

my stomach isn't sick.

I'm not ill from out dated food

or an airborne virus.

I'm not coughing and sneezing or hacking or weezing or panting and grunting or sleeping disgruntled because of a flu.

Maybe I'm just tediously thinking while overly planning and counting the days and routing the ways when I'll see you.

I need to stop counting

Every

Little

Thing.

One two three, one two three, one two three.

“It will be okay.”
