Wallpaper

The right one looks
like picture books,
the left is lapis,
matte but ample -
riddles figured and considered:
complimentary wallpaper samples.

'I don't really care for any of these'
but must choose one
before we're done -

And it'll be there
to adorn the corners
forever
Until we can't remember
any others -
Until we forget
which was better.

So picking seems
a sudden death -
So we pray, devoutly
for something less,
or just different halls
and different walls
to dress.
