Hairline Cracks

Just enough space

Not to move

Just enough money

Not to quit

Just enough love

Not to leave

Just enough time

Not to think

 

About your container

Its color and shape

Smoothness and thickness

Size and weight 

 

Your container 

What if it breaks

You start to notice

Hairline cracks

 

You think about

Everything said

You think about 

What you’ve read

You know about

All the experts 

Then it’s time 

To go to bed

 

You were lucky 

To find this place

You lucked out 

On the sale 

She returned your text

Looking forward 

To the next step
