Alterations.

Like the planked gills
of the wooden floor,
contracting and rising,

I wish to
inhale every sound
hanging about
this room

in change,

shifting tone
and size

while other
incredulous eyes
envy my
adaptability.

The experience
of transcendent sight

follows time's
slackening,

where minutes pass
quietly

as walls morph
in each approaching
streetlight.
