previous tenants
Vancouver special
Not failed attempts at beauty or style, but mocked
by the ignorant. Unique answers to identical questions.
How may I fit my family into the equation?
How will we make the mortgage?
How may we state the look
of elsewhere? How can I make myself more
abstracted? In the house but not of it.
Grace of a front lawn, all that glitters.
Stucco sophisticated, stuck in the surface.
Wood sliced into beam better becomes
the forest. Sheet shocks sense into reflection
Can't see the trees for the city.
What if can't I afford this?
Then to whom will the land be allotted to,
and how soon?Why won't we move to the east? A little further?
