As If

When the ray illuminates you
when the spell is cast
when you are enveloped by
the swarm of every possibility

all become real at once
you will say “what’s happening
to me?” as if it were not obvious
as if I knew and you did not

you are dwindling smaller
you are growing burgeoning
you are becoming yourself
as if it were not obvious

as if every question you ever had
was not being answered ‘yes’
as if every answer you ever wanted
was not written behind your eyelids
