One fluid ounce
of waning space
remains
Just before the impending close of
nondescript elevator doors
A quick finger button press
in the clutch
WATCH HOW THE HAPPINESS BENDS
Proper elevatorial molecular redistribution etiquette suggests
Everyone move slightly
A little bit more over
further down
Suddenly a number is called between floor lines
Again a press,
a light
a ding
the doors reopen
and the molecules rest once again to re-assess
