May 2014
The time when your heart
Flutters like a bird
And you can't let it out of its cage
Because it won't survive.
And your palms drip with sweat,
Flowing water as if from the Nile
And you couldn't part them even if
You tried.
You eyes water and tear.
Yawning comes on like a spell
Of hallucination.
Your feet might behind tiny
Tap dances under your desk.
Your knuckles may be cracked
Your mind wanders, and if things
Get really bad, you start to doze off.

What causes these symptoms?
The most dreaded time of the year.
While it might not be cold or flu
Season, it most certainly is the
Season of
Test taking.
So cover your eyes,
Get some more sleep.
And pray that you don't catch it.
