Perception

Perception is such an odd bird. 

Last night I wore makeup and a more fitted shirt to work (since the weight loss my work clothes have been kinda baggy). The response from three coworkers and two regulars? "You've dyed your hair! Wow it looks great!"

I haven't cut or colored my hair since October. 

Could be! Who knows?

There's this feeling that's been haunting me the past few days. It's a feeling of anticipation and excitement and energy. Everyday I feel it being nurtured by some nebulous knowing that something awesome is coming my way. Something big. It's been so long since this feeling inhabited my conciousness, but not so long that I can't recognize it and acknowledge it for what its worth.

How very West Side Story... 

Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock,
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!

Around the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It'll be there!

Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight . . .
