The distance between two almosts is a thin thing.54Please respect copyright.PENANACkudEmaeJU
It lives in doorways you don’t fully enter.
It acts well in daylight.54Please respect copyright.PENANAb8PLJPbjDc
At night it gets ideas.
You can hear it sometimes—54Please respect copyright.PENANAj4HSZ2KWvH
like a chair being moved in a room54Please respect copyright.PENANArJfbXBQCCB
that no one is officially using.
It isn’t haunted in a dramatic way.54Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ271s3b1X
It’s worse.54Please respect copyright.PENANATmKHdNi4jO
It’s polite.
It holds conversations that never start properly,54Please respect copyright.PENANAq18xlIDy7X
then nods at them like they were successful.
If you walk through it,54Please respect copyright.PENANAOpKrLgYWVs
you don’t arrive anywhere new.54Please respect copyright.PENANAnx9JusNCug
You just realize you’ve been slightly misaligned54Please respect copyright.PENANAp5KLlVgxOF
with everything you were about to do.
There are no screams, no grand hall scenes.54Please respect copyright.PENANARAkpsvLH0m
Just the faint feeling54Please respect copyright.PENANAwBxBrsPQLE
that something almost introduced itself to you54Please respect copyright.PENANARAGvN54TZN
and decided not to embarrass either of you.
And somehow,54Please respect copyright.PENANAlsfsGSJDki
that’s the part that lingers.
