eclectic

the earthquake happened hours ago
but i have not moved
from this flowered couch

the clock, now resting on the floor
keeps track of my immobility

nothing hit me directly
although i almost wish it had
if only to be a legitimate distraction
from my infidelity

i continue my non-movement
in the eerie quiet
that always seems to follow disaster
