standing on her head

she likes
to stand on her head
and make
a small
humming noise.
she's in her
yoga
pants, against
the wall
while you
are on the couch
eating
potato chips.
your eyes
move back and
forth
from the tv
to her, her
legs, her hips,
the way
her hair hangs
upside down.
you see her
ears get red
as the blood rushes
to her
head. and her
arms begin to tremble
from the weight.
you ask her
if she needs
any help. she says
no but
tells you not
to eat all the chips,
to save her
some. even upside
downm, she has
her eyes on you.
