Make Over

our home
has been violated
with this
new coat of paint;
the old
sanded away,
primed
and sealed with
strips of green
covering
chair rails and
baseboards...
rollers and
brushes
and
wet cloths
wiped
away mistakes
from
fatigue and
too quickly
with
application,
and
the pungent
smell
fresh paint
odorized
each room...
fans,
blew the smell
out
the windows
towards
the neighbors;
our home,
withstood
the shock of
this assault,
but will always
guard
the memory
of the old
for three to five
years or so...
when
mistakes
are once again
found
from what we
did before
and
are redone.
