The apartment was empty.
Our voices echoed throughout the hall.
Wherever I look, nothingness.
I thought about the people here before,
Did they have 1 kid? 2? More?
Did they go to elementary school or college?
Why did they leave?
I had all these questions yet no answers.
The floor had a stain;
Maybe by a dog,
The wall was chipped;
Maybe by a hammer.
The people who used to be here are gone,
And now we take their place;
The previous people are a mystery and so are the next.
