we get a look at everything

it’s fair to say

the looking isn’t really the thing

it quells the buzzing

comforting to know

the dust underneath the rug

is in my corner after all

all those bits spurring me on

in my lower moments

my stomach tenses

as they announce who's won the raffle

for the gift card to the coffee shop

not me

but the debris and the legos root for me

nonetheless
