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
