listen to that
cool
cool
water run
never been good at being alone
say “hello holy father.
where’s your daughter?
she could make this house a home.”

you got a
new
new
closet
never been good at savin’ cash.
chrome on the faucet
and you bossed it.
i’ve never seen you on the counter before.

listen to that
cold
cold
winter blow
never had time for absolutes.
new steam shower
for the powder.
his-and-hеr sinks
but
just
for
you.
you got a brand-new bedroom.
a clean sеt of sheets I’ve never seen.
thread count’s pricey,
for your wifey.
i know she don’t make the bed like me.
never seen a Persian rug look so homely
never heard a sadder voice
than when you phone me.
are you lonely?
you said it’s time for some renovations.
time for conversation.
but I ripped houses
bigger than you before.

enjoy the silence
in your kitchen.
been watering all these plants
made of plastic
and you think they’ll grow.

homemaker.
shiny new things but they’re all for show.
