Pandemonium in the living room

living room as a bike parlor
where you can sidle up next to
a range of possible partners,
squeeze the tires for firmness,
check out the seat and the curve
of the handlbars and see whether
you can ride together.
it’s pandemonium in the living
room where you can shop for
bedroom sheets, expresso machines,
men’s clothing, old suitcases,
left over receipts from travels around
the world, the pandemonium of
human movement, life,
adventure.
