wallpaper

don't cash
that check
just yet, let's
see how it goes.
let's see if
the bubbles
go down, or
if the seams
split, or
if the sheets
unravel off
the walls
in a slow quiet
peel during
the night.
don't cash
that check
just yet,
let's wait
awhile, okay,
and see what
things look like
in the morning
light. it's not
that i don't
trust you, it's
just that it's,
well, yes,
wallpaper. but
here are some
christmas cookies
to tide you over.
okay?
