About this work
Midtown private karaoke. Numbered doors, a touchscreen, a black sofa. Only Box 8 is still purple. Naomi in a red slip and a gold ring. Her husband is on a trip. Her friends took the elevator down.
“The others already went down.” Pick up the jacket and leave, and the night is a song. Lock the hallway from inside, and Box 8 stops being a room.
