Plastic Walls

These silhouettes are taunting. Like speechless androids, they sit in the corner and watch me as I stand over the bathroom sink. I brush my teeth and my hair. I look back and there they are, still stuck in a series of relentless gazings. Like I am on some television screen — don’t look for a reaction from me. They watch me with black eyes as I sleep. I cannot sleep while they watch. I leave.
