All He Needed

All he needed
Was three deep breaths
When the other driver
Came roaring out of nowhere
And cut him off with a laugh

All he needed
Was three deep breaths
When the copier jammed
In the middle of its run
Minutes before his meeting

All he needed
Was three deep breaths
When the telephone rang
For the umpteenth time
During the family dinner

Three deep breaths
Was all he needed
