Panic in Uneven Metre

What if I am...
Then what?
Everything changes!

What do you mean?
Nothing will change.
Everything changes.

You can’t be -
You’re not.
But what if I am?

We’ll cross that bridge then, when
we know,
now calm down.

Can’t we talk now?
I’m scared
Scared I might be...

Talking solves nothing.
Breath
It will be fine.

Breathing solves nothing
Talk, please?
Might have to...

You’ve heard of hysterics?
You’re having them.
Calm down.

If you are, when we know,
We can plan.
We’ll do fine.

But if I am... then,
Then what?
Everything changes.

Everything changes,
that’s okay.
Breathe.
