An ant crawls under a crack
I had forgotten below my window.
The wind blows suspensefully
so the curtains wake, bothered
they sweep their skirts to get up
reassemble their limbs and wrinkles to keep warmth.
Sunlight intrudes into my faulty sight
how blind could the blind be made?
What’s an alert, emergency
if the world has been forgotten?
or the promises I whispered to myself
so no one would intrude with their omen.
Another egg for lunch, but less spice
so curiosity remains at high
fifth black bean boiling
a consecutive view, indistinct taste.
The world wages threats on itself;
a toddler pushes another down the same playground
while I stare at this chicken bone
I was convinced is steak
I was promised to be luxurious.
Crawling ant, stomped on the table
Before I knew how to properly think.
We reference deities, pray to entities
While we play God
It’s all under control.
But the swift wind, menacing, invades through the window
