Confusion
taunts me
taps me on one shoulder
and sneaks around
behind the other.
Is the world suddenly
different?
Or is this some eccentric
April Fool’s joke?
I wonder if the water is safe.
They all came from
nowhere
and all at the same time
as if covertly strategized
or the planets suddenly shifted
into some strange version
of alignment
we aren’t currently aware of.
I’m stepping out anyway
reaching out
for the spontaneity,
but it seems like it may
disappear
at any second
into a playground prank.
