Split Seconds

 


No one would understand 

          the barrels-- 

those concrete rolls in The Projects. 

      The elevator rides to your story

         when a stranger suddenly steps in

         just before the door slides him shut

                 with you. 

     20 seconds to your floor.

          10 seconds to your home.

                  5 seconds to your life.
