nothing

i've begun reading again.
the chest pains have returned, too,
made themselves felt
as i took the last few steps towards the stoop last night,
twice in succession,
fading in,
solidifying,
fading out.

i held my breath, as i used to do,
when such things happened.
it happened again today, sometime around lunch
and i told mom, and i told dad,
and i remembered when my pediatrician told me
"growing pains, don't worry, it's nothing"
