Tick-tac with each step taken down
the tile floor hallway-
crept moving was the only way
to get here to meet there,
though the narrowing drywalls close in
facing the wall she wonders-
Whose purpose memory serves now-
As if climbing these textured cream walls
would help us all adapt to sharp
right angles, as accustomed,
and if given a sideways glance,
one may admire the frames for their brevity,
developed into more than the moment
of moving placeholders.
Time froze at her feet
the ceiling cast white over her.
The slate she found was just cleaned.
