There is a crack in the corner of my bedroom - sometimes I get lost in the thought of what could be
Lurking there on the other side of nowhere - from my pillow to somewhere in between
I imagine someone like me, lying- watching. This crack evolve from their own point of view
Wondering what it is that I might be thinking. And if I am wondering about what’s up with that crack too
Could it be the portal to my alter ego? Is she watching, waiting for me to call her out
For her to come and relieve me of my duties, and take over where I left off, for awhile
Or should I wander to the garage for some spackle, grab a trowel and towel and patch it up tonight
Or just lay here staring up at the damn ceiling, giving me ideas for a poem I can write
