She was struck silent, motionless
as we entered the grocery store.
For a fleeting moment, she was mesmerized,
frozen where she stood watching,
in wonder and awe,
a pair of dancing penguins,
and a dancing polar bear
dancing to some silent song
not playing out loud
She probably knows the tune
and was humming to herself
in the way a four year old can
struck dumb by the dancing penguins
before the candy cane at the bank
quickened her heart
