Wonder why
Such a short moment
Can blow everything wide open
Nothing big
Not shattering
But enough
Hardly a breathe
Though it stretches out
Suspended like a millon little shineing stars
Fragile
And that's it
All the time needed
The world falls off it's axis
Everything spins out of control
I take a step back and observe
And marvel
No shock
But it was like slow moiton
Standing there
Waiting
I can here the clock now
Ticking
*tick
How did this happen
My own heart envelopes the ticking
There is no importance
*Thump *tick
Together they create an orchestra
This is not a significant event
It will not make the news
Only I am effected
*Thump *Thump *Thump *Thump *tick
No-one will notice
I promise
I know
All that could have been observed
Is I took a breathe
The clock fades into the backround
So I close my eyes for one more beat of the heart
And pretend
They buy it
Because nothing happened
Well not really
