An hour late

Your eyes dart between the two talking
Just a few seconds behind in the conversation
The light of understanding goes dark behind your eyes as the words whiz back and forth
It's almost like watching a tennis match, set to fast forward, and missing several frames in between and at random.
Finally the match is over, and they back down, and slink away.
But still your eyes move across the scene.
Unfocused, and attempting to replay the events one more time.
Perhaps this time attaching meaning to words, forming ideas.
And finally, recognition.
But it is morning now.
