Poltergeist

I have built this
With my mind
From bits
That I remember
How does gravity work
There are rules
What are they
Sliding chairs
Noisily
Across the floor
Legs seem important
For reaching
Which way
Musical games
Fighting not to be left
Standing precarious
In an empty space
Is this right
How do I
Find my seat
I rise, yes
I’ll just rest here
Near the light
And read myself
To sleep

-me
