It’s a wet world.

and I keep thinking I hear voices downstairs

but they’re really just the wrappers of memories left crumpled and

wrinkled

on the floor of the kitchen.

sloshing rain

is also slick against the walls of my bedroom–

which are silvered and greasy,

and I’m canned here,

a sardine:

stuffed in this forever box

by damp thoughts,

It really is a wet world.
