#7. Dripping Certainty.

A cupboard was found inside a lake.
It contained a teaspoon, a half-knitted scarf,
and one of those things that might be a seed or a stone,
depending on who asks.

The lock was made of jelly.
The key was missing.
A fish claimed responsibility
but refused to testify.

At 3:14 p.m., a letter was delivered to no one.
It said only:
You didn’t misplace it.
It simply moved when you blinked.

The woman reading it nodded once,
then replaced her shoes with soup
and walked home slowly,
dripping certainty.
