a rocking horse sits atop a cabinet
next to a miniature merry-go-round,
the cabinet is full of classy porcelain
and should not be disturbed unless
the right visitors are around... a slogan
hangs on one side of the wall while
a painting of a white flower hangs
on the other... a table that seats eight
waits for dinner to be served not
caring about the wait... laminate
floors on which everything is placed
share their colors with the furniture,
but only in a complementary way;
a forest of light shines in through
the windows in front and back...
a lonely fireplace, out of place is
around the corner waiting for cold
weather... no one in the house has
read the instructions on how to operate,
so it sits on the floor of confusion
hoping that someone will soon care.
