You pace a room full of forgotten thoughts And find yourself hanging Down From the peeling wallpaper It is yellowed and crisp In your hands
A tangled man Made of Spiderwebs Asks you why. “why,” he asks. “Do you always fall parallel to the earth But perpendicular to everyone else?” You toss him away on a puff of breath. You tell him you like falling, thank you very much, And fall out of a shattered window And you are reabsorbed into the nighttime.
