Four Windows i. A man turns the matte paper to an angle on the desk. His thumb presses chicken wing grease to the page. He rubs it and it streaks. He reaches for the soda can and pulls his hand away. The man's lips tighten and he stands to water the plants. ii. A woman closes a briefcase on the table. She latches one side of the window. She turns off the radio. The woman sits on the edge of a crimson divan and squints at a corner of the rug. A door slams below her and her head darts left, to the window, like a bird. iii. A woman's brittle hair fills the pocket mirror. She presses up her dentures. Lint or a feather falls from her sleeve. Her hand brings coral lipstick to the corner of her mouth. The mirror or her hand shakes. The woman's head leans toward the green banker's lamp. iv. A woman bows her head to the back of the shower. Her right leg balances on the soap ledge. She holds a cotton washcloth to her thigh. She opens her eyes. Her skin is the color of steam. She lowers her leg and touches the washcloth to her face.
