The Way It Is
16 January, 2003
Author: Pondering Red
i hear the muffled sounds of elvis
coming from your doorway
as i walk slowly up the stairs
with a japanese take out in hand.
a string of lit Christmas lights
greets me inside.
i hear the usual hums.
the squeak of the floors,
the constant hiss of the fan.
chopsticks attack the rice,
pleasantly spiced.
i observe the patterns of light
from the lampshades,
the design on the rug.
i can't hear my breathing.
maybe i am dead.
moisture slides from the glass window.
