When music starts to play I see the blocks
of tenements in geometric shapes
fall from the grayscale sky with seismic shocks.
...Nowhere to run. Cannot find the escape
key. Rotate next one clockwise-there's a gap-
but people tumble from their windows, yelling,
upside down while tangled curtains flap.
Who knew that Tetris blocks were people's dwellings
and apartments could be flat? They're stacking
up, like uncollected garbage cans
and threatening collapse. My nerve is cracking.
They're falling faster. Music sets the pace.
I can't wake up, or slow the notes down. Man,
I hate these nightmares, stuck in Tetris space.
