It really is hard to figure,
how all these moving parts
stay well-coordinated enough,
to get me from the kitchen
to the dining room.
Especially since as they say,
deep down it’s mostly just space,
which is so easily misdirected,
jarred, blown about, whisked
into different shapes and sizes.
The suction of a quickly opened
bedroom door opens the bathroom door
alongside of it, which significantly
disturbs the cobweb in the corner,
at the other end of the apartment.
I know what you’re thinking.
He’s worried about the space
between his protons, and how suction
may affect his walking while he
has a spider camping in the living room.
