The distance between two almosts is a thin thing.61Please respect copyright.PENANAGQuvxGVRdc
It lives in doorways you don’t fully enter.
It acts well in daylight.61Please respect copyright.PENANA8R18YozCEo
At night it gets ideas.
You can hear it sometimes—61Please respect copyright.PENANAfM6qv9OnEr
like a chair being moved in a room61Please respect copyright.PENANAmaHaAAojmx
that no one is officially using.
It isn’t haunted in a dramatic way.61Please respect copyright.PENANANcRsG5LHdU
It’s worse.61Please respect copyright.PENANA0R6cGRILWb
It’s polite.
It holds conversations that never start properly,61Please respect copyright.PENANADDQzx8VJwf
then nods at them like they were successful.
If you walk through it,61Please respect copyright.PENANAPvkShPm3DT
you don’t arrive anywhere new.61Please respect copyright.PENANAaNv75oVhIF
You just realize you’ve been slightly misaligned61Please respect copyright.PENANA6mrhhXFjDj
with everything you were about to do.
There are no screams, no grand hall scenes.61Please respect copyright.PENANAR9rynyCsYI
Just the faint feeling61Please respect copyright.PENANAEfKcc4cAsu
that something almost introduced itself to you61Please respect copyright.PENANAzClMQ1yI26
and decided not to embarrass either of you.
And somehow,61Please respect copyright.PENANAmHsGH5xoam
that’s the part that lingers.
