wallpaper

I found myself creeping along the wallpaper

Jane intensly studying my movements from a rotting wooden bed

only the walls aren't peeling and stained and yellowish

but of the purest ivory instead

 

I felt as if I could breach some unformed truth

among the mountains and valleys of common architecture

and this would be an untold secret between she and I

as this truth is hidden from minds accompanying stricture
