popcorn

"you make popcorn and wait for the changing of the globe.”
you have practiced this and you say it in a chipper light tone
eyes wide open not scary you hope
your date does not understand.
“Just watch and wait.”
nothing happens
“Nothing happened” your date says.
“Yes but what if it did?”
not knowing what this means scared of the next moment
has you have been scared of every moment before it
your friend Scott is going to jump of the roof and yell
“Everything!”
you both hope he doesn’t break anything but it would make a good scar you both agree
you take a breathe knowing that its going to be one followed by another one
your proud of that and her name is Suzan,
a good moment you figure as you suck in deep
maybe she has simlar feelings
maybe you can at least share them
you will ask her that
Scott jumps from the roof scared looking at your face
you smile
proud today at least of where the demons have brought you today
Scott yells “Everything!”
maybe she is in love with you already.
