You Know What I'm Talking About
I love that moment, usually at a table,
with people working on a project or
planning a vacation, when one of us
shares an idea that at first glance
perhaps has merit because it is
different, even, surprising, but that
has little detail, like a formless
astonishing lump of clay right there,
suddenly, in the middle of the table,
and at first, everybody reaches for it,
pokes their thumb in deep, or rolls
it between their hands, or flattens
it like a pancake before folding it
back over on itself, and there's
at least one of us who maybe makes
a mustache of it and presses it
under their nose, and we all laugh,
and then there's this perfect pause,
and that's when the moment happens
and someone says, "You know what would be cool..."
