A sudden smile, coming out of
Nowhere, interrupting lunch or dinner.
An unusual pause, just staring at
The table, but not really,
More like seeing through it.

Occasionally, a brother or sister or friend
Notices it, and perfectly understands,
Too. He or she knows
What it's like. And sometimes,
He or she will have
His or her sudden smile,
Unusual pause in a minute. Daddy
Just shrugs. Mommy raises an eyebrow.

The episode is over.

hmmm..I think I like it. A very unique piece about a seemly small incident. But you made it have meaning and deepth. Great job.
