I stare at him,
head spinning.
No,
the room
is really spinning.
The flat carpet
is warped,
bent into mountainous waves,
lifting
all the
armchairs
into the air
so they float around
like driftwood.
Urei
is still seated
in one of them,
oblivious
to his own contorting face,
the taut line of his mouth
curling up
in a strange grin,
eyeballs
sliding off
his face,
staring at me
like I'm the one doing this.

No. Never.
Asher's face
is glowing,
his eyes
focused on something behind me.
He's not smiling—
almost like
he's holding back laughter.
The only one
not shaken
by what's
messing up our reality.
Even the easel I was painting on,
Tammie's abstract face,
doesn't look right anymore.
Her eyes are too distinct,
too dark,
too close.
