Sofia Defino Leiby: Maturation

20. November 2021 – 22. Januar 2022

I stand across the light
holding plastic bags.
I respond to the man I don’t know who smiles at me.
I don’t exist
only something almost near perfection
I don’t even move my head and
I don’t even jay walk in front of the police car.
I remember the day the black yoga mat arrived,
I left the delivery guy standing in the hall.
I never heard him leave, but noticed he was gone later.
The packaging was lilac and black with a ribbon made out of
a shiny material. Unrolling the mat I didn’t anticipate the feelings
it would cause me every downward dog.
From an 8th floor window I spray a sad look into the dark courtyard
of the building. I can’t see the bespoke superplants nor hear any sign
that other persons are present.
I step outside into the hallway
is a highway in the home
I see signs along the road;
A corridor full of enlarged prints of fashion magazines
and lamps along the walls.
