Still life

In a waiting room
with four white chairs,
two plants, a cheap box of tissues
and a book of complaints
I am anxiously sifting through
the past week
trying not to let
bad memories
slip under the carpet
of a sunny day.
Forgetting painful details
double edge survival
instinct propping
up destructive
landscapes

As with the 'stories', still thinking of a title

I have hesitated so far to make comment as, although I get an image, and very vivid, I feel I don't 'get it', but maybe I needn't. I suppose it is the last five lines, maybe just the lines breaks, or the sense of getting too much and not enough. Hope it helps but can't be more specific than that

I keep thinking, thank you for your comments.
