Surprise!

Stillness before
A sudden jump will startle
Quiet hesitation
Did it really just occur?

No
I don't think it did
Forget about it as
It was just a spasm.

But wait
What was that?
You feel that?
You hear that?

Squeaks like
A dying mouse
Meeting
A hungry cat.

Jolting
Like an electric fence
Meeting
A careless hand.

But that after feeling
Breathlessness tickles
Like a little gray fog upon
My lungs - shrouding sense
In stunned epiphany.

Revelation speaks
To what I have revealed
What was that?
Oh... I hiccuped.
