After a Pause

I have to thank the night shift.
With nothing else to do I stumbled across you by mistake. 
With most of the work almost done.
My ears took a stroll.
Four hours left before I clock out.
My Pandora took an awkward twist.
A long pause of an ad, the quirk of a song I haven't heard before. 
Before I could hit the skip button I realized that I found something I had no idea I was missing. 
I paused in momentary combustion. 
This orchestra of cool followed by bass.
And to think I would tragically have been mistaken to skip along.
Staring off into space.
I have nothing to offer except my ear.
Shamefully I can admit. 
I have never had someone to come and visit me on the clock.
But I could get use to it.
Just my opinion. 
This psychedelic feeling that found me twiddling my fingers.
Nothing much to do.
Except fall in love unexpectedly. 
Four hours later the same song stuck in my head.
This station all the more better
Stumbling into you out of the blue
