The Bottom of Things

There’s the floor. Well, there’s a floor,
The artificial flooring
Of a typical dwelling

For this place in this era.
Two people walk around it,
Talking over some events.

Two cats pad around as well.
Money went into this floor.
Labor went into this floor.

Design went into this floor.
Habit went into this floor.
Culture went into this floor.

Language went into this floor
Unimportant and ignored.
