To quake or not to quake...

The earth shook under my feet
So they said
To me that is not the way it seemed
Another opportunity missed

Chairs shook, stomachs jiggled,
Water in bottles waved,
Buildings closed in on each other
Not for me though

It all seemed normal
It all seems normal
The world shook under my feet
And I missed it all

Cocooned or oblivious
Boon or curse
For my good or not
Happy or numb
I need to be aware
