That'll do it...

A sneeze. A sniffle a bit too loud. 

A crease in my bed sheets

An unexpected phone call.. 

A load of laundry

That'll do it. 

That's all it takes for the stillness to break, for the peace to shatter

The roof to curl in on itself 

And erupt into flames

Like the camel that broke the straw's back

Your eyes can find a haystack
In a needle

Eggshells tiptoe around you

Still you make traps, for us to fall into.
