Isn't it Wonderful, a Study in Marching Bands, Pregnacy, and Surprises
This is a poem that I had written for the group fotoFriday on deviantArt about a year and a half ago. The situation is one that I'm sure is often repeated in different settings all over the world.
The words fall from your lips
in time to stomping feet,
knocking me off of mine.
(We're pregnant!)
(Isn't it wonderful?)
Shock takes my power of speech,
left dumb by the intrusion into our routine.
The band marches on,
calling cadence in bright notes
and bass undertones
while I'm lost in the distorted reflection
of the lead trombone player
who stops and stares,
wondering what got into me.
