Squat
Halfway home
is not quite.
Play musical chairs
don't stop tune.
Pause might reveal
you laying down
bedsitting upright.
mattress not yours.
Half in, half out,
leg down, light on
ready to go
if asked how you slept.
One word answers
else they interject
notice eviction
for this moment.
Hang your hat
in their memory hole.
Luck invites you
back weeks later.
