Question-induced Coma
Michael Reed
An old man walked up to me in a grocery store
the produce section
no, the frozen foods
I think he was lonely
he asked me how many seconds were in a year
it's an old joke
I knew the answer
but I couldn't think
I wondered if I was on a gameshow
with the camera hidden behind the meat department window
but it wasn't a game show
and if it had been
I would have lost
the answer was twelve
January second, February second, March second...
I felt like an idiot
