Looking for the Lesson

Restless. Uneasy.
Today is uncomfortable.

There's a tight grip
on the center of my chest.

There's a rising in my throat
that stays lodged and throbbing.

Eyes dart, hands wring, toes tap.

I feel desperate to make something happen,
anything to ease the discomfort.

But there is a lesson to be learned,
and as much as I fight it,
it seems the answer is this:

"Don't just do something; sit there."
