Your house is different than mine, she said
Yours has heat
Light that spreads recklessly
Basil plants
Framed photographs
Things that remind you of home even as you stand within it
And how can you stand it?
Mine, she said
Is full of receipts and debt
Aching stomachs
Roaches that build their lives apace
Passports and expired plane tickets
Faucets that forgot how to drip
That's a great line, "Faucets that forgot how to drip."
