really?
you didn't just sit down
suddenly in the chair,
stunned beyond words.
you didn't run down to the kitchen,
yelling, "Mom! Mom!"
and then in circles when
you couldn't find her.
no searching for the hidden
speaker or looking in the closet
to see if your little brother
was holding a microphone
pranking you with that voice
which no one else could hear.
"much perplexed"
is the best you could
come up with in that
gobsmacked
out-of-the-blue
life changing -
no, that life-shattering moment?
no wonder we are left
pondering
what sort of person you
are
until you start singing
