Slant
It’s all on the slant
slippery and sliding
out of balance
out of whack
Vision limited
window views
front door views
only in the neighborhood views
Living small
the world in a box
screen eyes, screens eyed
encircled by a 6 foot bubble
Waiting to connect
reconnect, person-to-person
straightening slowly
until the slant
tips upright
into place
and balance
is restored.
