People in houses look for homes

3/17/2019

People in houses look for homes
trellised white picket fences fear the dirt
fragrant roses climb over a reluctant hedge
wooden gates permanently stay locked
grass grows greener on the other side
flowers bloom close to the riverside
streets forget the point of their existence
roads walk in and out like amnesiac blackholes
curtains curtail the solitary existence of hope
doors laugh at windows that hear people come and go
windows despair in the silent spectacle behind closed doors
foot mats do not dust the dust of fumbling feet
mirrors, lights, tulip vases, crystal glasses break ominously
people in houses look for homes
trapped in the shackles of their Stockholm syndrome.
