The Question

Aww, you must miss your family

There is a pause

And in this space of time,

I wonder if anybody ever misses a tornado

Or a hurricane sweeping a well ordered life

Into tiny smithereens of chaos

Leaving one emotionally incapacitated

But nobody expects the truth

Only an answer permitting them to go on with their day

So I smile and reply: yes, I miss them.
