Easily: Arrow Remover

Grocery shopping,
Muzak making me crazy!
Tried to imagine
Being in outer space
But no dice;

Resorted to
Counting breaths instead
And saw at once the pull against my mind
Caused by the annoying caterwauling.

Irritation arising from
Interference with concentration
On the task at hand
Was the cause of this distraction;

Oh, what a contraction!
And what a relief
To find an alternative
To reaction,

Regaining traction;
Able to relax,
As a glitch at the cash register
Held up the lengthening line,

Then remembered to do stretching
And so allay the irritation
Triggered by catching on the whiney singing
And the delay;

So much to learn
From such simple occasions,
So many ways
To practice,

Feels great to have a menu of options
And useful strategies
That when employed with alacrity
Bring such benefit and even hilarity.
