the lives of others

in the corner of the living room stands a steam radiator. the floorboards around it creak, but if you follow along the wall the third board is swollen with the heat and therefore silent. when i sit there immobile and put my ear to the wall, i hear her. and if not her then the potential of her. she will make a sound. and this constant suspense and validation is proof in small increments that the universe exists
