i noticed how

there’s a full carton of milk

just sitting in your bedroom window

 

and i can’t help but notice

how that is the weirdest thing

 

it is perched

on the windowsill

right next

to a plastic bottle of water.

 

the carton is blue

and features

some logo,

some image

that i cannot view.

 

all i know is that

there’s a full carton of milk

just sitting in your bedroom window.

 

and i don’t know why

you have been drinking a full carton of milk

 

in your room

and just letting the carton sit there.

 

and i probably wouldn’t have noticed this

if your apartment

wasn’t literally just several feet away

from my own

 

and if your window

wasn’t open.

 

which is also weird

because it’s snowing outside.

 

and maybe

that milk carton

is filled with something

other than milk

 

something that won’t

require

a fridge to store it in

 

and yet

still requires

an open window

when the ground is covered

in a few inches of snow.

 

there are icicles

lining the edge of the roof

right above

your bedroom window.

 

and it’s not like

the carton could get pierced

by an icicle

 

but i still think

that you’re a weirdo.

 

all i know is that

there’s a full carton of milk

just sitting in your bedroom window.
