Poem.

Mostly the foot is kept on the floor
and the floor is kept on the ground
and the ground, well, it doesn't stay still at all
and the apartment is a crumpled paper, or
there are too many things inside. Inside:
contents, ingredients, prognostications,
lamps (there is a startling amount of light),
containers, words, words, words, words,
radio, my mouth is open and my foot is on the ground,
toes curled under, under. There may be a tricycle.

I like your use of the word startling. It's perfect and unexpected.
