The distance between two almosts is a thin thing.27Please respect copyright.PENANAuA0kByAVQh
It lives in doorways you don’t fully enter.
It acts well in daylight.27Please respect copyright.PENANAmY3r65uFvT
At night it gets ideas.
You can hear it sometimes—27Please respect copyright.PENANA7UUgGG0N9K
like a chair being moved in a room27Please respect copyright.PENANArGilvNG19E
that no one is officially using.
It isn’t haunted in a dramatic way.27Please respect copyright.PENANAp4dViUq7yM
It’s worse.27Please respect copyright.PENANA7RmDc7p2Gd
It’s polite.
It holds conversations that never start properly,27Please respect copyright.PENANAMHzuRdfvBR
then nods at them like they were successful.
If you walk through it,27Please respect copyright.PENANArbbIag0thi
you don’t arrive anywhere new.27Please respect copyright.PENANAsJvHgQuSiD
You just realize you’ve been slightly misaligned27Please respect copyright.PENANAaToT3MGP7L
with everything you were about to do.
There are no screams, no grand hall scenes.27Please respect copyright.PENANAzZUP6VmUSp
Just the faint feeling27Please respect copyright.PENANARbGXkAxO05
that something almost introduced itself to you27Please respect copyright.PENANAsG1PUJvzHa
and decided not to embarrass either of you.
And somehow,27Please respect copyright.PENANArm9xCJijYP
that’s the part that lingers.
