a shutter to think

It was a strange moment i dont know that i’ll have again.
I felt complete magnanimity with the world
a white surge of “okay” 
“youve done it 
right.”
it was so
forceful and present as to require
a response but i wasn’t sure how
to speak it. 
i also didn’t want it to
stop. so i continued on in conversation
with a pall over my head like a little
zion or maybe a rebalance
of the universe
after the asshole 
earlier today
made fun of my
starbucks cup.
