Poem: An Occurrence

 

An Occurrence

For some the world
will completely stop;
for others it will
go on normally
like nothing happened.
It is so strange that
nothing is the same
yet life goes on like
there has been no change.
Families crying
inside while kids play
their night games outside.

How strange. It’s so strange.
Nothing will ever
be the same and yet
everything goes on.
