Private calculus

A square. Right there.
It moves closer.

Wonderment:
Why square? Why there?
Why me?

Changing shape now.
Every second counts.
No one else will see.
Why me?

The square is lost —
not there,
but once it was:
a square,
drifting toward me.

Now only lines,
perhaps.

A square-cloud
visible only to me
dissolves into nothing.

Why me?
