the room is filled with tiny tables /
no space to walk in or through /
tan legs so straight commanding /
the shrinking floor beneath /
nowhere to sit so nowhere to eat /
like a new paragraph on top of an older one /
read upwards /
tricking the eye that what happened /
has yet to come /
the thermostat is not right /
showing red when it feels blue /
I’ll stop this plane if you don’t stop spitting /
history is delayed /
but the gate is still open /
all you humans /
I’ll find someone to pray for you /
not for salvation /
that vehicle’s been stolen /
but for language at the end /
that is almost always now /
the hanging door chime /
that keeps perfect time /
on the way out
