ATTENTION

Attention, please. Look up—there’s more happening than you think. Attention, attention—hold this thought awhile. Hey, hey—turn your attention this way. Attention, attention—hold this thought awhile. A paper cup trembles on the ledge. The clock has lost its little hand. You said the room was standing still; I watched the doorway change its shape. Attention, attention—hold this thought awhile. Hey, hey—turn your attention this way. Attention, attention—hold this thought awhile. Listen closely, dear. This little detail matters. Eyes front! You might miss the best bit. Attention, attention—hold this thought awhile. Hey, hey—turn your attention this way. Attention, attention—hold this thought awhile. Thank you for listening. Attention returned.
