The wet fragment keeps spinning like a droll television rerun playing in the background behind a closed-door with muffled audio seeping through the cracks a shabby mirror sleeps within my chest squeezing the gelatinous organs as if they were gummy clay furniture till shallow breaths and faint beats become each step into tomorrow another faded billboard sign to see on the side of the road passes by with frayed edges and half the message folded over that the waves at the rolling vehicles but the minimum speed limit pushes them on doves land upon ant hills to snack amid dandelions casting white parachutes into the wind that's just passing through as blooming yellow offspring crack driveway while chemical pumps keep spraying out the toxins some edible flowers were never meant to live long lives amid the levity in blowing its plumage across manicured lawns and barbeques that build scrapbooks with etched dates inscribed upon the moment captured Cities w...

Don't worry, you just have to learn the rule of their game. When you enter the building, remember to use only the lift on the  left side. That is for maids and dogs.

In the corner, you will find your cup and plate. If she is in a good mood, you might get some leftover tea. Never tell them, you eat beef and pork. The hall is a neutral zone. Take your time so she doesn't think You're not working hard enough. Don't touch any fragile objects, their gaze on you can make you nervous. If something breaks, you will have to pay for it.
