In the waiting room

Babies cry, evidence would suggest,

at slight changes in atmospheric pressure,

at the tap of an insects legs on carpeting,

the rustle of a virgin's hair,

pencil shavings settling at a Montessori school,

a spore alighting on Camembert,

brown leaves dropping in a memory.

 

And me?

The Earth would have to crack,

Levantine mountains conflagrate,

God's angry voice boom dark...fate!
