Preoccupied

the adults

hanging from my ceiling

are busy talking

in an angry crescendo

about the matter they solved an hour ago.

i think what's left,

to be loudly discussed,

are the what ifs.


in case you decide

to interrupt them

with the details

of their next mission,

double check if

the room is soundproof.

they aren't really fond

of being told

what a waste of time

it is

to postmortem

my head
