The Pregnant Pause

Listen to poem:
The little linger, the wee wee wait-a-while, says it all wordlessly, unwieldy: "The momentary pause is pregnant!" with distinct possibilities of a bow-out clause. I can see and smell the stench of doubt as you look away, breaking our eye-to-eye contact. That tiny delay is your way of saying it, without saying it in words. You, the soothsayer-in-silence bleats: "The momentary pause is pregnant!" Listen!
