i'm looking through a microscope and the focus goes in and out until clarity comes quick and sharp
a black man faces the eiffel tower; buddha faces the couch that curves perfectly
for two bodies foot to foot
and the lights are dim and warm
tonight is a small world
water glasses refilled and socks padding across the floor
not really going anywhere
at all
the blinds have slats with a fine coating of dust
and the bath is getting grimy
like teeth do after too much sugar
but the sheets are well worn and clean
and ready
tonight is a small world and one person
lives here
