Gale
by Marie Elena
I’m not observant.
You’d be amazed at how much
blows over my head.
I’m like memes that say
“I was today years old when”
I fin’lly noticed ‘this’.
It often seems like
thoughts swirl around in my brain,
but can’t seem to land.
And obvious things
don’t click … until they do. Like
Dorothy’s last name.

Marie, the connection of Dorothy’s last name to the wind storm that took her to Munchkin Land did not click with me until I was well into my adult years. Clever. (Her name, that is. Not me).

It only took me about 60 years. 😉
