last night
a canvas fell
crashing to the floor
–
should have noticed
earlier
as it had been slightly shifting position
for some time
–
clamored down
falling
with a thud
rousing me from
a deep slumber
–
got up
switched on the lights
observed
the wall
–
a thin
brown
strip of adhesive
remained
–
i guess
sometimes
we only notice
when it’s too late
