Catching a Glimpse

When we check out the room
Of the speakers on Zoom
Our eyes start their job of assessing
For the objects that loom,
Nothing staged, we assume,
Give us hints of what they are possessing.

Every bookcase, so neat!
Offers clues, though discreet,
Of editions that they have been reading
And the artwork we greet
In each private retreat
Makes us think, “Oh, that’s just what I’m needing!”

The celebrities’ digs
For these stay-at-home gigs
May cause envy of spaces resplendent
But the biggest of wigs
Might be living like pigs
When they aren’t on-camera transcendent.
