Heat and pressure build
Slowly I am filled
Jostled by my brethren
I can't wait to join them
As it gets more violent
They rumble with sound
Harder to stay silent
Feeling so profound
So close can barely focus
Overcome by stimulus external
Finally it happens...POP...
Surprise, I was a popcorn kernel!!!

Heat and pressure build
Slowly I am filled
Jostled by my brethren
I can't wait to join them
As it gets more violent
They rumble with sound
Harder to stay silent
Feeling so profound
So close can barely focus
Overcome by stimulus external
Finally it happens...POP...
Surprise, I was a popcorn kernel!!!
For my sister, who asked me very seriously what it felt like to be a popcorn kernel about to pop.
