cover the house except for the bathrooms,
red, black, grey, and white rugs are laid
out throughout, complementing all the
other colors... a distressed table and chairs
in the dining room sits, awaiting its visitors
as it basks in everyday light that enters
from the sunroom... whose walls and roof
were built by an amateur... only trees can
be seen through its windows from my
location but there is a yard with grass
several feet wide between the two...
a gas fireplace stands silent like a Roman
sentinel waiting to be called into service,
and in the meantime, just waits in place...
cats enter the house through the door that
has been left ajar even though it is relatively
hot outside... neither occupant stands to
close the door... it is a mental war they wage
with each other hoping the other one gives
in first... but there is no prize to the victor
and yet the game is play anyway... the
lights in the house have all be made brighter
but is yet to illuminate anything... waiting
for the end of the day and the disappearing
sun to see if it was worth the price paid.
