I'm Not Living Here



If I wanted to 
Live in a mausoleum
I'd kill myself

Straightened cabinets
Cleaned out rooms
All fit for Realtors
Devoid of life

Put it on the marketplace
Let the pretty buyers come
I'm not living here
Without some evidence
Of something worthy
Of cohabitation

(c) 1996 James Oliver Smith, Jr
