coming to comprehend

Through the morning's
open window
I heard a woman
laughing

and I realized
that I
am numb
or rather, bestilled

because what I believe,
those most intrinsic things,
have changed
shifted, solidified

and I stumble alone
in coming to comprehend
that the reality
that each of us clings to
is but a story
that none of us
admits to disbelieving
