How did it happen?
Everyone was used to this and thought nothing of it.
They looked at each other.
Nothing changed
Occasionally, she looked along its length
Why couldn’t they understand this?
They were so separate from her
I wish there were someone I could tell

Everything was all right, really
They might go to a dance
A fair amount of time passed
The world sounded like such a strange place
She always paused here in her mind
She remembered everything
It was just that they couldn’t quite believe it
They were extremely pretty children just the same
She had no feelings
