*by Eleanor Hardy*

there is a bubble  
pulsing and smoky inside  
it lives in the kitchen  
above the compost  
and as my roommates  
teeth sharpen  
the smoke inside gets denser  
it’s pulsating rhythm gets quicker  
what is it called when  
the bears at the zoo  
pace over and over  
sun-hot plastic  
rocks unfocused eyes  
looking but not looking  
and are we all pacing  
the same way without  
really knowing it  
the static that sends  
stray hairs skyward  
contained in the bubble  
sends us wheezing  
like radon or lectures  
it is not supposed to be here  
it is not supposed to live like this  
the bubble shakes and wobbles  
waiting for the needle  
that pops it
