After a Nap
I never noticed that before: notes written in the vent above my head,
official, looking like a warning,
or some subtle instruction in that neat, factory laminate font.
Very hard to see. Can't get close, I am covered in dust.
I never noticed that before,
a small door in the wall. It can't be
there is nothing behind that wall.
Why! It's opening.
I didn't know about this before
between the realities of the house
I squeeze through the dark
I should have stayed in bed.
The door closes and lights go on.
Nobody told me about this,
but I did dream it.
Only now do I wonder where my pillow is.
