Earthquake

5th floor-7 second shakes 


Today I felt an earthquake
As I was lying in my bed
Nothing fell or crashed
I didn't bump my head
but it was a mental trip 
not a sound slipped out of me 
I didn't hear or smell or speak
The fifth floor seven second shakes
From head to toes 
Today I felt an earthquake 

The lamp was shaking and I thought my room mate had "accidentally bumped" into the cinderblock wall behind my desk.  Then, my mind accepted what was really happening.
