SUDDEN

Slow preferred,

but sudden happens….

So sometimes

we can’t go slow -

till we’re on the other side

of what happened - like:

opening a wrong door,

putting my foot in my mouth,

a surprise death,

a deep rejection.

Yet, slow is possible

for the processing,

for the figuring out

of what happened - 
but only maybe ....
and only sometimes....
