Something's happened; you must react
But can’t. Now is not the time,
Or you don’t know what to feel or do.
Perhaps you’re not the person to whom,
Before whom, about whom, this thing
Should have happened. The hour has come
But not the man, the woman, the child,
The brindled cat with one eye who could,
If he chose to, speak flawless English
And make himself understood in koine,
But he never does chose to. So you say “hm”
Just that and no more. (Even another m
Would be too much). It’s enough;
When time allows, when you know more,
When you're the right person or cat at last
You will do or feel exactly what you should.
