"411 Middle Road

is a charming house, nestled in the center of a hamlet on Long Island.

[no it absolutely is not]

it's currently on the market just below $1 million

the formal dining room seats fourteen

I'm sensing Sunday meals, perhaps?"



Everyone fits at the table
but the spaces between fork and knife,
cup and napkin,
body to body
are too overwhelming to facilitate real conversation.

words just echo off the freshly painted walls
the new designer table setting seems the only thing keeping us together
spaced a proper distance apart
constellations that could never connect.
