Distraction

A Library.

Twelve chairs, four sets of three.

A black jacket draping over the back of chair one.

Emergency exit fifteen feet from my whereabouts.


A painting.

An old man holding a book in his lap.

A lawyer, maybe?

gold frame accenting his trapped expression


A skylight.

Dead fauna with no escape.

Yet the emergency exit is just beneath them.

Too bad they have no means of transportation-the wind must be greedy.


An electrical outlet.

Six holes leading somewhere mysterious.

Only the computer chargers really know.

How unfair.


So how did I get here again?

a year and I am just seeing this.

My fingers should be devoted to an essay.

Yet they long to predict what my mind is currently observing.
