white walls scrubbed sheenless from bleach
leaves a slimy dry residue behind on the
floor boards which serve as back rests.
the plainest walls mock the greyest
carpet yet they are the warmest and
smiling of their kind. the east wall is most
favored and faced, and multiple whispers
bury themselves within
the newly flattened paint. delicate spices
and diced cucumbers lace
their forms and play red rover, red rover
but the raisin bowl always wins the race.
nescafe clings to your lips, in
the corners of your mouth, your cloaked
tongue dabbing there like a
deliberate napkin.
