Trap Door

There's a trap door in my head...

it leads to marginalized moments
of delinquent days
and compressed moments
stored in a dusty box.

If you listen carefully
there's a silent throb
and a superheated rock
ticking in the hinterland.

It all adds up to nothing more
than asking whether it really
is possible for a darkened room
to alter time.
