Even though it was four years ago,
some days you're like,
"What happened? Hey....anybody....what happened?"
You saw it with your own eyes.
You experienced it with your own life.
You were there when everything changed.
But still
When you least expect it,
When you are goofing around
Or just lying upside down on the sofa,
You wonder to yourself and to the world,
"What happened??"
And then you get up,
Go back to eating,
Or playing,
Or sleeping,
And get on with the mission of living.
