The Moment

Marie Howe

2011

Oh, the coming-out-of-nowhere moment

 

when, nothing

 

happens

 

no what-have-I-to-do-today-list

 

 

maybe half a moment

 

the rush of traffic stops.

 

The whir of I should be, I should be, I should be

 

slows to silence.

 

the white cotton curtains hanging still.
